MRS offers hope to some of the world’s most vulnerable people ??? refugees who have fled their homes in fear for their lives because of religious, political and other forms of persecution. We carry out our mission to serve this vulnerable population through a long-standing partnership with a network of over 100 diocesan resettlement offices. As the largest non-governmental resettlement agency in the world, MRS has resettled more than one million refugees since 1975 and has, in recent years, typically helped to resettle more than one quarter of all refugees who come into the United States.
