On January 25, 2026, renovation work began on the building that will house the migrant assistance center for the Redemptorist OASIS project. This space was designed to offer comprehensive and dignified care to those experiencing human mobility. This project is being carried out in Reynosa, Tamaulipas, as part of the Frontera Mission.
Indeed, in 2023, Mission Frontera was launched with a single goal: to accompany migrants with hope and dignity. As Redemptorist missionaries, we have listened, walked, and learned alongside those who cross borders in search of life. During this time, we have closely analyzed the challenges of migration and its profound human and spiritual needs. Today, with greater clarity, we know where to go… and how to do it.
We can joyfully say we have taken a step forward with the opening of the “Oasis” Migrant Assistance Center, a new reception and service facility. This center is part of a project of the Redemptorist Conference of North America (Mexico, the United States, and Canada), which seeks to respond in a concrete and fraternal way to the realities of human mobility in our region.
An essential part of the overall objective is to accompany migrants in transit and those who decide to settle in the city of Reynosa, offering comprehensive, flexible, and efficient follow-up and creating collaborative networks between the Church, civil society, and different levels of government. This way, as an “Oasis along the Way,” we can provide essential services in the articulation of the multiple efforts for dignified and safe migration.

The Misión Frontera Project is one of the responses of the Diocese of Matamoros, through the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer, to the complex and changing migration dynamics in Mexico, particularly in the city of Reynosa, Tamaulipas. Due to the lack of a stable migration policy, the country constantly reacts to the provisions established by the United States, which impacts the flow of migrants, the needs for assistance, and the ways to welcome, protect, promote, and integrate our brothers and sisters who, as pilgrims of hope, cross borders in search of better living conditions… (Seelos Redemptorist Community, 2025)
