Catholic Charities of Southwest Kansas offers a holistic spectrum of refugee and immigration services. We honor the human potential of newly arriving Americans through service, advocacy, and invitation, in the spirit of the Gospel, so that they experience hope and fulfillment in their new country. Walking with immigrants and refugees on their path from arrival to citizenship, we support their family unit and help them rebuild their lives. Our services are designed to help immigrants and refugees overcome culture shock, create their first home, secure documents, achieve economic self-sufficiency, integrate successfully into their community, and prepare them for citizenship.
