MEDIA STATEMENT
JANUARY 25, 2019
ANGLICAN DIOCESE OF ONTARIO
&
ROMAN CATHOLIC ARCHDIOCESE OF KINGSTON

The Anglican Diocese of Ontario and the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Kingston have for many years shared an outreach program that supports and enables church and community groups to sponsor and settle refugees.  The Anglican Diocese of Ontario is a Sponsorship Agreement Holder under the Government of Canada Refugee and Asylum program.   Our program engages with community and faith-based Constituent Groups to help support refugees from abroad when they resettle in Canada.
Our constituent groups provide assistance and support for refugees who have been determined as admissible by the Government of Canada (Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship Canada).   They serve as the final step in the journey for those that have been displaced by war or unrest in their country of origin.  The dedicated and caring work of these groups has seen several hundred people successfully settle into our local communities.
Through the media, we became aware that an individual whose family was previously sponsored by one of the constituent groups under our program has been arrested as part of an investigation.  As the investigation evolves, we support the work of law enforcement.  Our concerns, thoughts and prayers are for the Kingston and surrounding area, the faith communities involved, the family and all those affected by this unfortunate situation.
The Anglican Diocese of Ontario and the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Kingston highly value our Refugee Ministry, our collaboration with the many government and local agencies and the thousands of people who are directly engaged with the resettlement of newcomers to Canada.
