ShareLife 2012
1 ShareLife Sunday March 25th. Pope Benedict XVI has described charity as the true force that changes the world. That statement is certainly true when we talk about ShareLife, the primary charitable appeal of our Archdiocese. In our region, we have the chance to exercise Catholic charity in a true meaningful way. Through our active involvement in ShareLife, we reach out to some of the most vulnerable, marginalized and needy people in our midst. We also help our neighbours, friends and fellow parishioners as they work through difficult times. Please consider supporting ShareLife, the annual fundraising appeal of our Archdiocese, during this Lenten season.
Cardinal Thomas C. Collins, Archbishop of Toronto.
