Let’s “Stand for the Land” with Development and Peace/Caritas Canada 2023 Lent Campaign!
We invite you to join us at this upcoming event to kick off our 2023 Lent Campaign on Saturday, February 11th at 9:00 am to 12:00 pm.
Development and Peace will begin a new 5 year cycle this year on Ash Wednesday, inspired by the October 2021 address of Pope Francis to the World Meeting of Popular Movements (EMMP) urging us to “create hope”. For the first year, we have chosen to “create hope” by working to Stand for the Land in solidarity with our sisters and brothers in the Global South who are defending their homelands by protecting their land and water, the environment and human life. see more
