2025 is a Jubilee year. A year in which Pope Francis invites us to “forgive the debts of countries that will never be able to repay them.” (Spes non confundit, 16). Development and Peace — Caritas Canada is responding to this call through the global Turn Debt into Hope campaign. Here are a few ways you can join us:
- Donating - online at devp.org/give or during the Solidarity Sunday collection on April 6, the fifth Sunday of Lent. Your generosity helps support over 79 projects in 34 countries around the world!
- Signing - online at devp.org/debt the global Turn Debt into Hope campaign petition calls for an end to unjust debt. With inequalities widening as rich countries continue enriching themselves by exploiting the resources of the poorest countries, we respond to Pope Francis’s call. Parishes will be collecting signatures in March as well.
- Get the Mini-magazine and follow the Solidarity Calendar with your family. Discover all the resources at devp.org/lent/resources.
