Through our funding of Catholic Migration Services, the Catholic Foundation for Brooklyn and Queens is committed to empowering underserved immigrant communities who are writing the next chapter in the history of our communities and our Diocese. The funding provided by the Catholic Foundation for Migration Services provides comprehensive pastoral, educational, advocacy and legal services to advance equality and social justice in a changing and diverse population.
The boroughs of Brooklyn & Queens together account for over two-thirds of New York City’s immigrant population. With offices in both Brooklyn and Queens, Catholic Migration Services is strategically located to assist those that need our assistance most, while promoting lay leadership in the church and sponsoring most of the multi-lingual Masses in the Diocese. Home to some of the country’s largest immigrant populations, the boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens are well served by the church, but more can be done with your help.
