Ministry Mission
Development & Peace
At St. John Brebeuf, our Development & Peace ministry is rooted in the rich tradition of Catholic Social Teaching. We are committed to global solidarity, working to address the root causes of poverty and injustice. Through education and advocacy, we support our sisters and brothers in the Global South, striving to build a world where the dignity of every person is respected and the common good is realized.
Since the explosions, Lebanon has been plunged into a state of catastrophe that calls for our solidarity. This is yet another trial for a people already struggling with an unprecedented social, economic and political crisis, and the explosion is further threatening the food and social security of the population. This tragedy comes at a time when hospitals, already short of resources, are trying to cope with the COVID-19 pandemic. Donations made to Development and Peace – Caritas Canada are eligible to be matched by the Canadian government. To donate, please visit www.devp.org.
