Syrians stream from their war-torn country into Iraq's Kurdistan region

Syrians stream from their war-torn country into Iraq's Kurdistan region

The Board of Missions has now approved the sponsorship of a Christian Iraqi family through ORAT(the Office of Refugees for the Archdiocese of Toronto). The family consists of a husband, wife and 3 daughters (17, 14 and 10),  currently in Lebanon.  ORAT has already completed some of the paperwork and they believe that  the family could be here in 9-12 months. Most of the settlement costs will be paid by Project Hope, a fund of the Catholic Church.

I cannot thank enough those volunteers who came forward to commit to helping with the resettlement work, thereby convincing the Board of Missions that we could mobilize enough support. This sponsorship is only possible because of you - and because of you, this family with their 3 precious daughters can have some hope. I know that more volunteers will come forward once the family arrives but you made it happen! Thank you!
