Miami Office - Religious Services Program

The Miami-based Religious Services Program (RSP) works at the Krome Service Processing Center. It is one of eight RSPs operated nationwide by the Church World Service Immigration and Refugee Program in collaboration with Jesuit Refugee Services. The RSPs provide spiritual and pastoral care to immigrant detainees while they await resolution of their status. This chaplaincy program offers care to detainees according to their religious tradition, and strives to provide non-judgmental spiritual support to those who are in detention.
