Beginning with Europeans left homeless by World War II and Cubans fleeing Communism in the 1960's, the Diocese of Lincoln has been welcoming refugees in the name of Christ for more than half a century.

Today, refugees from all over the world fleeing persecution, poverty, and war begin new lives in southern Nebraska with the assistance of CSS. Resettlement services include securing housing, cultural orientation, food, medical and dental services, and job placement. All refugee services are designed to assist the families to achieve self-sufficiency at the earliest possible date.

In 2000, CSS will resettle more than 400 refugees from all parts of the world. In recent years, refugees have come to CSS from Vietnam, Cuba, Iraq, Bosnia, Kosovo, and the republics of the former Soviet Union, and many African nations.
