CARE is focused on ministering through education and accompaniment. 

The goal of accompaniment:

1. To connect migrants and their families to existing community resources that will help these people to comply with their legal requirements. It is important that no one stands alone during this difficult and often trying process.
2. To build awareness regarding existing migration policies and their impacts on communities, and promote solidarity and increase public support for new policies that support migrant families and improve local communities.
3. To create avenues for education and learning about the diversity of modern Catholic parish life and the centrality of welcoming the newcomer to Catholic Social Teaching. It will also help to form migrant leadership opportunities at the parish level. 
4. To bridge cultural differences and foster a community of welcome and understanding.
