Catholic Office for Emergency Relief and Refugees (COERR) is a private non-profit organization, established by the Catholic Bishops Conference of Thailand (CBCT) in 1978.

The Office's declared mission is to provide relief to people affected by natural disaster, give assistance to the refugees and displaced persons, as well as to the poor and the needy Thai individuals, including the local population affected by the influx of refugees into Thailand.[1] COERR takes part in the operations of Committee for Coordination of Services to Displaced Persons in Thailand (CCSDPT).[2]

In 1986 the organization was awarded Pope John XXIII International Peace Prize by Pope John Paul II.[3]

The President of the Catholic Office for Emergency Relief and Refugees is Michael Cardinal Michai Kitbunchu.
