The Share Lent collection for Development and Peace -Caritas Canada is held on the Fifth Sunday of Lent, March 17, 2024 – known as Solidarity Sunday.

Established by the Catholic bishops of Canada in 1967, Development and Peace – Caritas Canada addresses the root causes of poverty, oppression, and inequality by working with partners in the Global South and by mobilizing Canadians in the common struggle for justice and dignity.

The theme of this year’s campaign is “Reaping Our Rights”. As the website notes: “Everywhere on Earth, and especially in the Global South, impoverished populations are facing growing challenges due to climate change, land grabbing, resource theft, soil contamination and armed conflict. Rural populations are particularly affected by these upheavals, and Development and Peace — Caritas Canada supports them in defending their rights to life, land, water, biodiversity, justice, health, participation, decent livelihoods, a healthy environment and more.”
