Jan 4-10 – National Migration Week (USA) – Resources

“The needs of migrants and refugees throughout the world are great and growing. The 2003 World Refugee Report documented over 13 million refugees throughout the world, most surviving in desperate circumstances. Sadly, many fail to survive at all. Yet in the face of this profound human suffering the United States resettled barely 27,000. This is the lowest level of U.S. refugee resettlement in over 20 years! Clearly, we have a long road to travel. “This text is from the letter of Bishop Wenski on the occasion of National Migration Week.

The United State Bishop’s Office of Migration and Refugee Services has put together a fine list of resources.
