Development and Peace:

The courage to Create Hope

To delegates at the 4th World Meeting of Popular Movements, Pope Francis said, “…you have the ability and the courage to create hope where there appears to be only waste and exclusion.”

These are the words that inspired the choice of “Create Hope” as a five-year guiding theme at Development and Peace ― Caritas Canada.

The courage to Create Hope is rooted in actions big and small. For to drive away anguish and despair, it is best to act. Every action we take has a positive effect on us, our neighbours, our great human family, our children and their descendants. What will you to this Lent to Create Hope? Join our campaign at devp.org/lent.

Supporting those affected by the recent earthquake

The devastation wrought by the earthquake in Turkey and Syria is heart-wrenching and it has inspired many to ask how we can respond.

To support an immediate response, please consider making donations online. There are four organizations listed below that are well-positioned with connections in the earthquake area to respond to urgent needs. Donating directly to these organizations online is really the fastest way to get the money to where it is most needed.

Aid to Church in Need		Canadian Jesuits International		Catholic Near East Welfare Association		Development and Peace

Following our Lord as he carries his cross

After a three-year hiatus, the youth of our diocese will once again take to the streets of Peterborough to re-enact the Way of the Cross on Good Friday, April 7. All are invited to join the procession, starting with a prayer service inside the Cathedral of St. Peter-in-Chains at 10am and concluding at Immaculate Conception Parish by 1pm. We are looking for volunteers for all aspects of production. Please contact Tom Wigglesworth at (705) 313-9846 if you are interested in helping out!
