EVERYBODY'S CHALLENGE - Jesuit Refugee Service | USA

Cooperation with religious congregations
13.JRS may opt to join or support the initiative of another congregation,
or take part in joint projects with other religious congregations.
14.In every cooperative venture, JRS encourages religious congregations
and their members to serve refugees according to their
charism.
Terminating or withdrawing from projects
15.Once a refugee situation is judged no longer to require the
intervention of JRS, a program may be closed. Alternatively, the program
may be transferred to the local Jesuit Province, if its capacity
and willingness are evident. The project may be handed over to the
local Church, or to an international or local agency (see 19, b and 20, b).
B. Modalities of the Society's service to refugees
16.The Society of Jesus exercises ultimate responsibility for JRS.
17.The General Congregation appeals to all Provinces to support the
Jesuit Refugee Service in every way possible, 5 and JRS very much relies
on that support.
18.The commitment of the whole Society to JRS may be expressed
and organised in various ways, according to the principles in nos
19, 20 and 21.
The international JRS
19.In areas of acute or pressing refugee need, or where the local
Jesuit Province lacks sufficient resources or, because of other demands,
cannot offer service to the refugees:
a. The JRS, as an international agency, has the capacity to respond
quickly, flexibly and with autonomy, as an approved body of the
Society.
b. The decision to undertake or to terminate such activities is made
by the JRS International Director after dialogue with the Provincial(s)
in the region.
