Immigrant & Refugee Ministry

The Immigrant & Refugee Ministry (IRM), a collaboration of six South City parishes, is a grassroots effort that connects volunteers with immigrants and refugees to assist them as they make their homes here in St. Louis. In addition to St. Margaret of Scotland, the other parishes which form the ministry are St. Anthony of Padua, St. Cronan, St. Pius V, St. Stephen Protomartyr, and St. Vincent de Paul.

In order to work for greater justice for those who have resettled in our community, IRM provides education and advocacy opportunities related to local, state, and national policies. The ministry receives funding from the parishes, as well as a grant from the St. Louis Archdiocese Annual Catholic Appeal.
