Bishop Fabbro's Statement about Share Lent 2018 Campaign
CCODP is the development arm of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops. It is through this campaign and your generosity that CCODP, on behalf of Catholics across Canada, contributes to projects that alleviate poverty in developing countries and offers educational opportunities to Catholics here at home. The theme of the 2018 campaign is Together for Peace. It is about ‘knocking down walls to build bridges’ through “dialogue”.
As your Bishop, I ask that you generously donate to the Share Lent Campaign in your parish in order that CCODP can continue to support projects that will better the lives of people in different parts of the world. This year, I also invite you to consider becoming a year-round contributor to the work of CCODP by pledging a monthly contribution. Those who wish to learn more about the 2018 campaign and Share Year-Round monthly giving can visit the CCODP website at www.devp.org and www.devp.org/shareyearround.

Women at the Heart of Peace - Education and Action Campaign
As part of the Development and Peace Jubilee campaign celebrating 50 years, Development and Peace chose to look to the future. After highlighting the role of women at the heart of change in their Share Lent campaign, they are building on this momentum to focus on women’s role in building peace.
Beginning last fall, Development and Peace heralds the positive peace built by women. This campaign invites Canadians to learn more about the vital role women play in conflict prevention and peacebuilding.
Supporting women is supporting peace!
