Join parishioners from across our Archdiocese to deepen your understanding of the Campaign "People and Planet First". Speaking up for rights and protesting injustices are powers that we take for granted in Canada. In parts of the Global South, however, this can be dangerous. Communities are often threatened and criminalized for defending their rights to healthy land, air and water. It is therefore crucial to amplify the voices of our sisters and brothers who are fighting to protect our common home. This Lent, let us continue to support this goal and listen to the voice of M.R. Bishop Raymond Poisson (CCCB President) “For us Christians, in order that our faith in Jesus might be expressed in action, I encourage you to respond enthusiastically to the invitation of Share Lent [ShareLife] 2022, which is being organized by Development and Peace – Caritas Canada under the theme “People and Planet First”. This campaign is an expression of the Gospel message and of the Church’s social teaching, both of which take into consideration the integral development of the human person.”
