Founded in 1971 in response to Pope Paul VI's call for the care of immigrants, the Diocese of Brooklyn's Catholic Migration Office now welcomes thousands of immigrants each year.  Since its inception, the office has served immigrants from at least 167 countries who, collectively, speak more than 80 languages.    

Our programs are open to immigrants of all faiths and are considered by our clients to be respectful, dignified, safe, and professional. With no money ever spent on advertising, the hundreds of thousands of immigrants who have come through our doors have done so at the suggestion of others who were well served by the Catholic Church.
