Ketteler House of Refuge

About
The history of our community to host and assist refugees has a long and proud record that includes the evacuation from Vietnam; La Posada Providencia in San Benito, TX; Room at the Inn in Bridgeton, MO; and Charity House in Pittsburgh. In March 2023, we renewed our efforts to address the refugee crisis in our country and established the Ketteler House of Refuge on our property at Providence Heights in Allison Park, PA. The goal of this ministry, sponsored ministry of the Ketteler Legacy for Justice Committee, is to offer temporary shelter and hospitality to immigrants and refugees until permanent housing or placement is secured. It emphasizes accompaniment, safety, and spiritual support as part of a holistic response to displacement.
