And we're off!!!

With the first Sunday of Lent behind us, the ShareLife Parish Campaign is now up and running for 2010.


Most of the parishes in the Archdiocese of Toronto received their ShareLife materials last week. The remainder of the materials will be delivered in the next day or two. Given the amount of resources required to support the Haitian relief efforts, our materials are about a week behind our desired delivery time.


To the left is a sample of what you'll see in the parishes of the archdiocese for the next few months. To check out more ShareLife promotional materials, visit the resource page of our website.

We have a significant challenge ahead of us as a Catholic community in this campaign, aiming to raise $12 million so shortly after raising $3.7 million for disaster relief. We will hope, pray and work hard to promote the cause of our agencies and the incredible work they do in the community. We rely on your support, in whatever form you can provide it - time, talent and/or treasure.

My hope is that the ShareLife Community Challenge will inspire some parishioners to join us for the first time and others to reinforce their gifts - taking advantage of the matching gift program. Please, let everyone you can know about the program.

If you have any suggestions, feedback or questions, feel free to contact me.

God bless.
