Share Lent 2015

The Canadian Catholic Organization for Development and Peace continues to lead the “One Human Family, Food for All” campaign across Canada as part of the Caritas Internationalis global campaign launched by Pope Francis. This campaign is a response to the fact that one out of every nine persons suffers from hunger. It affects close to one billion people on this planet. With other members of Caritas Internationalis, Development and Peace, through its Share Lent collection continues to be at the side of hungry people around the world. We should remember again this year the words of the Pope, “We are facing a global scandal of around one billion - one billion people who still suffer from hunger today. We cannot look the other way and pretend this does not exist. The food available in the world is enough to feed everyone.”
