Good Night & God Bless -Refugee Advocate

Refugee Advocate

Michael Kelly SJ is the Chief Executive Officer of UCAN Services. A former journalist, he is responsible for the production of La Croix International, a daily French general-interest Roman Catholic newspaper and La Civiltà Cattolica, a magazine published by the Jesuits in Rome. Father Kelly is a director of Good Night and God Bless, a new, not-for-profit website for travelers and pilgrims seeking accommodation in religious guesthouses and Christian hotels.

For the past 5 years Father Kelly has initiated support programs in Bangkok to provide assistance to hundreds of Christian refugees from Pakistan. These refugees live in fear and suffer constant harassment from Thai police, who do not recognize their refugee status. They cannot work and their children are mostly unable to go to school. Some are languishing in Thai detention centers.
