Development & Peace – Caritas Canada Fall Campaign – Share the Journey This year, we invite you to share the journey as Cardinal Tagle, President of Caritas Internationalis reminds us, “We do not necessarily need to do extraordinary and extravagant things to make a difference in the lives of people. Small gestures, ordinary gestures, when done with sincerity, with the light of human understanding and compassion, can do extraordinary things.” Take time this week to truly encounter migrants and refugees through their stories. Read about the Hossein family, Patience Ubanl, and Aysha in the Action Sheet found in your bulletin this week. Postcard signing will be November 18. Our website www.devp.org/en/education/fall2018/materlals has more info.

Development and Peace (The Canadian Catholic Organization for Development and Peace) is the official international development organization of the Catholic Church in Canada and the Canadian member of Caritas Internationalis. Development and Peace is a membership led organization supported by parish collections, individual donations and government grants, principally from the Canadian International Development Agency.
Our mission is to support partners in the Global South who promote alternatives to unfair social, political and economic structures, and educate the Canadian population about the causes of poverty and mobilize Canadians towards actions for change. In the struggle for human dignity, the organization forms alliances with northern and southern groups working for social change. It also supports women in their search for social and economic justice.
