During the spring/summer of 2023, we collected donations, prepared a home and helped resettle a family of 8 from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and had most recently been living in a camp in Tanzania. The family arrived the second week of July. Working with Della Lamb, Visitation volunteers will work with Della for three months following the family's arrival to provide transportaton and assist them in acclimating to life in America by helping them navigate bus routes, the laundromat and more.
Watch the parish bulletin, e-news and social media for ways to get involved with our next refugee transition.
