We invite you to a special "Night of Reflection" at the Oceanside Sanctuary. This evening is dedicated to embracing gratitude, fostering reflection, finding closure, and celebrating our collective journey.
All migrant services moving to San Diego
After roughly a month of Border Protection dropping off legal asylum seekers at the Oceanside Transit Center and a Herculean effort by non-profits, everyday Oceanside residents, and churches to provide basic care, there is a new solution. As of today, because the County Supervisors approved $3 million dollars for relief, they will be consolidating all asylum seekers to one location in downtown San Diego, where more shelters and services are nearby.

How you can help OSC's response the migrant crisis
We want to update you on OSC’s involvement in the ongoing migrant crisis unfolding across San Diego County and how you can help with this urgent situation. Estimates are that over 7,000 asylum seekers have been dropped by Border Patrol at transit centers around the County over the past two weeks. On average, about 100 migrants are being dropped at the Oceanside Transit Center every day. This is likely to continue for several more weeks, if not months.
A Message for Children, Youth & Families of OSC!
If we have not gotten the chance to meet yet, my name is Claire and I am thrilled to serve as your Youth & Family Minister here at Oceanside Sanctuary. In the coming weeks, one of my goals is to reach out to each and every one of you - I want to get to know you and your family’s passions, questions, and needs so that we can continue the beautiful work of community among our kids, teenagers, and families at OSC.
