Corporate Campaign Launched + Relief Efforts for Indonesian Earthquake Victims

A number of dedicated volunteers gathered for Mass and a light breakfast to launch the 2010 Corporate Campaign. Our goal is to raise $1.5 million in the corporate community this year, and it can only happen with the help of these generous volunteers. We were joined by Martin Mark, director of The Office for Refugees in the Archdiocese of Toronto (http://www.archtoronto.org/arch_offices/refugee.html), who spoke about the important work being done by his office. Rest assured, ShareLife funding of this important agency is saving lives in faraway places and giving people new hope and new lives here in Canada.

On another note, the ShareLife Office sent an announcement to all parishes in the Archdiocese to let everyone know we are now able to accept humanitarian relief contributions for those affected by the deadly earthquakes that struck Sumatra, Indonesia last week.
