Catholic Charities Refugee and Immigrant Services has been welcoming newcomers with dignity, respect, and professionalism for more than 35 years.
Since October 2015, more than 20,000 unaccompanied minors have flocked to U.S. southern borders seeking refuge.
Over the past thirty months, Catholic Charities Refugee and Immigrant Services served more than 100 of these minor refugees, most of whom have visited our offices in San Francisco and San Mateo seeking guidance and legal assistance during our weekly workshops.
Learn More about what Catholic Charities is doing to meet the needs of this very special population.
