nORTHsHORE wELCOME - REFUGEE RESETTLEMENT
St. Lawrence helps resettle recent arrivals from Afghanistan and Venezuela through a collaboration with Episcopal Migration Ministries, Sponsor Circles, and the Diocese of Chicago Sanctuary Task Force. These organizations match us with recent arrivals, whom we house on a transitional basis while helping them become self-sufficient. NorthShore Welcome, includes members of our four Better Together Episcopal Churches; it is also open to anyone who would like to help with this ministry. If you would like to learn more about this project, email us at northshorewelcome@trinitychurchhp.org.

We are raising money to help cover housing costs, living expenses, and create a “nest egg” for our guests. St. Gregory’s has created a link to donate directly to the project; CLICK HERE TO DONATE ONLINE.
You may also donate by check. Please identify “Refugee program” in the memo line.
All monies donated will benefit the work with the current guests; remaining funds will be applied either to welcoming another family (if our churches feel called to do so), or to other refugee resettlement ministries.
