Today is Solidarity Sunday. There will be a special collection in support of the work of Development and Peace, whose efforts alongside the most poor and marginalized in the Global South are an expression of love to mankind, which fulfills Jesus’ message of hope, justice and kindness. Thank you for your generosity and solidarity. We are all one human family, and your gift will help to make a place at the table for the poor and ensure that everyone receives their daily bread.
Development and Peace's Share Lent Campaign During this Lenten season, Development and Peace invites you to think about the poor and marginalized in the Global South, who face the injustices of war, poverty, hunger and denial of human rights every day. In today’s liturgical reading, Jesus raises Lazarus from the dead. He does not turn away from the brother he loves and demonstrates that God’s love makes life eternal.
Youth (Grades 10-12) are invited to a Think Fast on Friday, April 11th from 6 pm till midnight at St. Dunstan’s
(Monsignor Boyd Family Center). Think Fast is a fasting experience’ and an interactive, educational and fun event
for youth to learn about social justice. The materials used come from the Canadian Catholic Organization for
Development and Peace. The theme is ‘Hunger For Justice’.
