Dominican friar Brother Xavier Plassat coordinates the anti-slavery and human trafficking program for the Pastoral Land Commission, an initiative of the Brazilian Catholic Church.

With the support of Development and Peace, Brother Xavier’s program works with the Brazilian government to free over 3000 slaves every year. He has won several human rights awards for this work.

Here is an easy and consistent way to support the Restoration Campaign for our historic Church.

The fundraising Campaign will be buying prepaid cards for various amounts at local businesses such as all the local grocery stores, Canadian Tire even – yes- Tim Hortons – and you can buy them here at the church.

Six percent of all the money spent comes back for the Restoration fund. That’s it!

Everybody has to buy groceries and other house stuff and this is an easy way to give a very needed boost to our ongoing campaign.

You get the cards; use them like cash at your favourite stores and the percentage works for the Church.

We’ll have the co-ordinators at the doors to run this initiative. We hope to kick off in a few weeks.
