Become a force for real change |
Our movement draws its strength from our 11,000+ members across Canada! Every year, they act for justice by supporting our education, advocacy and fundraising campaigns. This work is critical for our partners, who know that eliminating the root causes of poverty in the Global South requires the dismantling of the structures of colonialism, exploitation and inequality in Canada.
Add weight to our voice. Be part of a family that acts for justice. Join our movement! There are copies of A Movement for Global Justice pamphlet at the church entrance with more information on How We Act for Global Justice. Please take a copy home to read, or see the Development & Peace website link:

HELP A CHILD SUCCEED
Dîner pour mieux apprendre’s annual fundraising campaign |
Dîner pour mieux apprendre, formerly La Table de Bethléem / Oeuvre d'Edna Charette has launched a first major fundraising campaign. Under the theme Help a child succeed, the population, merchants and businesses are invited to contribute generously to feed economically disadvantaged children attending elementary schools in the Lièvre territory.
The overall goal of the campaign is $100,000, 100% of which will be invested in meal preparation. Feeding one child for the duration of the school year costs approximately $900 in food, and the organization expects to feed over 100 children. This food security project has a direct impact on physical health, but also promotes education, socialisation, and integration into society. It gives every child an equal chance to succeed because hunger is a barrier to their growth, health and learning ability.
If parishioners were not able to participate in the October 29th day of fundraising and food collection, donations can always be made by contacting Anne Mercier at dinerpma@gmail.com or at 819-281-3231.
Donations can also be made online at bit.ly/dpmadons.
