WHO OUR NETWORK SERVES

Catholic Charities agencies across the country have been providing

services to immigrants and refugees for more than 100 years. Through
our work with this vulnerable population, we are familiar with the
economic and political forces that cause people to seek a better life
in this country and support them through services ranging from
translations to employment training.
