As Catholics, we believe in practicing the corporal works of mercy of welcoming the stranger, working to support our brothers and sisters in Christ who might speak a different language or come from a different country, but who are fleeing persecution, violence, and poverty. At La Casa Amiga, we support the independence and dignity of the immigrants and their families in Pontiac and throughout southeast Michigan. We provide a variety of services that work to empower, aid, and support our families and friends.
We provide many different services to support our community. We provide services in both English and Spanish. If you have questions about our services or would like to volunteer, please call us at (248) 338-4250, ext. 3700.

When I first visited, I was impressed by the cleanliness of the building and the calming atmosphere present. That has not changed in three years. I am confident that my mother is in good hands when I need someone to take over Mom's care for a few hours.
