Our Mission
Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS) is an international Catholic organisation with a mission to accompany, serve and advocate for the rights of refugees and others who are forcibly displaced. Welcome to the website of the Europe Office.
Our priorities
Featured projects
CHANGE
This project aims to educate young people on the positive contributions of refugees to society and to encourage them to take action within their schools and local communities.
The One Proposal: Jesuit support to Ukraine Crisis
JRS is working together with the Xavier Network, Concordia Moldova, the Society of Jesus in Europe, local civil society and NGOs in a coordinated Jesuit response to the Ukraine Crisis.
Detention Under The Spotlight
JRS visits people in immigration detention across Europe. We witness detention’s negative impact on detainees and the effects of flawed migration systems. By exposing some of it, we hope to gain support in our call to end immigration detention.
Dear European Parliament
JRS calls on all EU citizens to vote highlighting how the EU Parliament’s decisions can foster solidarity and hospitality, end migration detention, stop policies outsourcing the responsibility to protect those in need and expand safe and legal ways of reaching Europe.
