On World Refugee Day, held each year on June 20, we celebrate the
strength, resilience, and courage of refugees worldwide. Refugees bring
gifts, skills, and talents to our communities, enhancing the very
fabric of our nation.
Episcopal Migration Ministries is the Episcopal Church's foremost
response to refugee crises. Working in partnership with offices and
groups within the church as well as with governments and non-government
organizations (NGOs), Episcopal Migration Ministries assures safe
passage and provides vital services for thousands of refugee families
upon their arrival in America: English language and cultural orientation
classes; employment services; school enrollment; and initial
assistance with housing and transportation. For each family, the goal
is self-reliance and self-determination. After years of living in
limbo, refugees now have the opportunity to begin again on a strong
foundation that honors their stories and dignity, thanks to Episcopal
Migration Ministries.
