Thank you for giving from the heart to Share Lent 2024!

For decades many families in the Global South have been losing the ability to feed themselves adequately. Our sisters and brothers in the Global South need our solidarity more than ever.

If you have already donated, Development and Peace — Caritas Canada thanks you for supporting the Reaping our Rights campaign with your Share Lent donation. If you have not yet had a chance to give, you can still place the Share Lent envelope in the offertory (envelopes are available in the lobby) or donate online at devp.org/give.

Thanks to your generosity, on Solidarity Sunday last weekend our Parish collected $2,273.15. This sum will help support our sisters and brothers in Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, Latin America and the Middle East.

“And if, in the ashes that we are, the fire of the love of God burns, then we will discover that we have indeed been shaped by that love and called to love others in turn. To love our sisters and brothers all around us, to be considerate to others, to feel compassion, to show mercy, to share all that we are and all that we have with those in need.”
–Pope Francis, February 2024

By sowing justice, we reap hope, peace, solidarity, and dignity. Thank you for continuing to pray for all those who are working to build a world of peace and justice.
