The purpose of the center is to be an Oasis of reception and hospitality to alleviate the daily suffering of migrants in its integration and adaptation process into American society.

There are many challenges since difficulties appear every day, however, within capabilities and resources, the center never measures efforts to assist and guide the human-social-spiritual needs of the immigrant population. The Scalabrini center cannot solve all the problems of immigrants, but its primary goal is to direct these issues to the right source of help, creating a sturdy bridge between immigrants and institutions.
