Refugee Committee

The Holy Family Refugee Committee was formed in 2019 to support a refugee family coming to Canada.

The first phase is to raise money to support the family for a year.  When the money has been raised, the paperwork will begin with the help of the Archdiocese Social Justice committee.

Pervaiz Family Update - October 2024 

The Pervaiz family continues to do well but are anxious for the move to Canada and Regina.  Unfortunately, they are having to vacate their current accommodations and are having difficulty securing a new place with their pending departure to Canada.

Sarib will graduate from his college, with a religious studies degree, on October 19, 2024.  Sheeza is continuing with her religious studies program.  Their parents, Ashiq and Yasmeen, are doing well at this time.

All applications have been submitted by the Archdiocese of Regina to Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) in May of 2024.  To date, Sheeza has completed biometric enrollment in Malaysia.  The remainder of the family is waiting to be asked next.  Following that, they will be required to undertake a medical exam prior to beginning to talk about travel arrangements.  

The time of their arrival is still very uncertain.  

Please keep the Pervaiz family in your prayers for their continued safety and a speedy arrival in Regina.  

Blessings, 

Holy Family Refugee Committee
