The Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS) is the international organization of the Society of Jesus that has the mission to accompany, serve and advocate for refugees and other displaced people around the world.
During 2021, thanks to its donors, JRS brought aid to 999,518 people in 57 countries, with 80 million euros spent on programs and services out of 83.3 million raised.
We interviewed Father Thomas H. Smolich, who has led JRS since October 2015 and who will pass the baton in the summer to Brother Michael Schöpf, who has served as deputy director for the past two years.
