Development & Peace :
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted us in many ways here in Canada. In the Global South, the impacts are devastating, as the pandemic is worsening poverty, hunger, conflict and gender inequality. Our Quebec Bishops have agreed for parishes in Montreal to support a special collection for Development and Peace.
More than ever, your solidarity and generosity are needed to support the work of Development and Peace so we are all recovering together.
The partners of Development and Peace are working for a just recovery in countries such as Peru, Lebanon, Bangladesh, Somalia and Haiti so that all can live in dignity.
Development and Peace – Caritas Canada needs your support! You can help in three ways:
- By donating to the collection at Saint John Paul II Parish.
- By donating online at https://www.devp.org
- By becoming a monthly donor: https://www.devp.org/en/donate/givemonthly
