Development and Peace

The Canadian organization for Development and Peace was formed in response to Canadian Bishops after the second Vatican Council encyclical of Pope Paul VI that stressed Development = Peace. Development and Peace is open to any Canadian Catholic. It looks at Third World conditions and tries to improve the lot of the poor and the outcast. It looks at group causes and aims education campaigns at these causes. Development and Peace is a year round organization with two major campaigns a year; the fall campaign and the Lenten spiritual almsgiving, under the umbrella of the ABA. The poor of the world are our sisters and brothers. We share with them common dreams of a good future for our families. As Christians, we should be doing our best to see our global family is treated with justice and dignity. Further information can be obtained through one of the parish contacts.
