Catholic Charities of the East Bay continues to actively resettle refugees in the Bay Area. We welcome any parish interested in helping a refugee family rebuild their lives and adapt to a new homeland. Parish teams help in many ways, including: A warm welcome and airport pick-up; setting up a home; tutoring to improve English language skills; providing transportation to necessary appointments; introducing new public transportation systems; and sharing hospitality. A parish network significantly improves the support available to a new family, creating new friendships and answering Christ’s call to welcome the newcomer. You’ll find your own life both challenged and deeply enriched by the experience. For more information, please contact Jude Stephens, Team Support Coordinator, at
