Episcopal Migration Ministries

About Episcopal Migration Ministries

There are between 11 and 14 million refugees in the world and millions more internally displaced persons. Episcopal Migration Ministries (EMM) is a national ministry that works in cooperation with the U.S. government and other faith-based and secular agencies to provide services to the uprooted from around the world; to advocate with and for immigrants; and to raise awareness in our church of the plight of those who have had to leave their homes because of persecution.

The Miami EMM office, a satellite office of the national ministry, was opened in 1981 in response to the immediate needs of the Cubans who arrived from Mariel, as well as a growing number of refugees from political turmoil in Haiti. The majority of those resettled through the Miami office are persons who have relatives or friends in Miami-Dade or Broward Counties who are willing and able to sponsor them. More could be assisted if there were congregations and individuals in the diocese willing to serve as sponsors.
