The Blog of Jesuit Refugee Service/USA

In continuity with its quarter century of ministry to and with refugees and forcibly displaced individuals, Jesuit Refugee Service/USA affirms its mission to accompany, serve and defend the rights of these vulnerable and often forgotten people.

JRS/USA witnesses to the reality that God is present in human history, even in the most tragic experiences of persons driven from their homes by conflict, natural disaster, economic injustice, or violation of other human rights.
