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.

Primary objectives

Inspired by Gospel values and in particular the preferential option for the poor, D & P objectives are to support the actions of people in the Global South so that they can take control of their destiny and educate Canadians on issues related to North-South imbalance.

Who can be involved in this Ministry? 

All members of the parish are invited to become involved.

Time commitment  

This depends on the projects chosen. The annual Share Lent Campaign would take a few hours each week during Lent.
