Refugee Services

"We must view migrants not as numbers or problems but as persons,
seeing their faces and listening to their stories
as we try to respond as best we can to their situations.” 
~Pope Francis

"For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat,
I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink,
I was a stranger and you invited me in, 
I needed clothes and you clothed me,
I was sick and you looked after me,
I was in prison and you came to visit me."
 ~Matthew 25:35-36
