Effective June 30, 2025, Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Chicago is no longer providing refugee resettlement services. If you have any questions, please contact [email protected].
Perhaps time away from home may be as far as the next village or town. But for some, the need to leave their country entirely is extreme – sometimes for a short time, but sometimes forever. People all over the world are often forced to make the profound decision to leave their homes in search of a better life.
Catholic Charities coordinates programming to help immigrants and refugees develop a plan for the next stage of their lives. For immigrants, our teams can assist with family reunifications and family visa petitions, among other services recognized by the US Department of Justice. Individuals unable or unwilling to return to their home countries for fear of persecution or repression can also seek help through our programming, along with comprehensive case management, employment services, and school placement.
