Rising for Refugees

ALL PROCEEDS will be used to support refugees sponsored by the Church of the Holy Trinity. HELP US MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE LIVES OF REFUGEES AND THEIR FAMILIES!!!

The Refugee Committee at the Church of the Holy Trinity is proud that, since 1991, our congregation has sponsored over 100 refugees fleeing persecution and violence in Afghanistan, Burundi, Cambodia, El Salvador, Ethiopia, Iran, Iraq, Kosovo, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Somalia, and Sudan. We have provided them with our financial and moral support; today, they are making positive contributions to our society, both economically and socially.

Some of our more recent sponsorship efforts have included helping:

• a young single Rwandan woman
• a couple from Iran
• a Palestinian family from Iraq
• a single Palestinian man, stuck in Turkey
• a blind Afghan couple and their daughter from Iran
• newly found relatives of an established family from Somalia, including a grandmother, mother and 3 children, and eventually the father, who joined their family here in Canada.

We know we are called to “welcome the stranger.” Our sponsorship efforts are one of the ways we seek to answer that call.
