Cleveland Catholic Charities Migration and Refugee Services is one of 104 national affiliates of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. As the largest resettlement office in Northern Ohio, we expect to serve over 180 refugees and asylees this year.

MRS provides vast resettlement services designed to aide refugees become self-sufficient as soon as possible. Staff members offer employment services and case management services in culturally appropriate languages and customs. Currently our staff of 8 speaks over 9 different languages. MRS also has an interpreting service available.

"We call upon all people of good will, to welcome the newcomers in their neighborhoods and schools, in their places of work and worship, with heartfelt hospitality, openness, and eagerness both to help and to learn from our brothers and sisters of whatever religion, ethnicity, or background."
