Immigration and Migrant Support Services

PUKAT Denpasar believes every person deserves dignity, protection, and the chance to live fully, including Catholic migrant workers, newcomers, and transient communities in Bali, Lombok, and Sumbawa. Welcoming those on the move is not only part of our pastoral mission, but also a living witness of Christ’s love in action.

The Challenge

Many Catholic migrant workers come to this region seeking better economic opportunities, but often face significant challenges: limited access to legal information, risk of exploitation, social isolation, and lack of spiritual support. In such conditions, they become especially vulnerable both physically and emotionally.

"And whatever you do, do it from the heart, as for the Lord and not for others."
— Colossians 3:23
