SHARE LIFE
Third Sunday of Lent
Living the Gospel by providing for
homeless youth…
On a given night, 6,000 people across Canada
between 16 and 24 have nowhere to call home.
This represents 20 per cent of the total
homeless population. In Toronto, estimates of
homeless youth range from 900 to 2,000
nightly. The ShareLife-supported Rights of
Passage program at Covenant House have
been active in making a positive difference in
the lives of homeless youth on the streets of
Toronto. 75% of these youth have been
matched with mentors and have also made
progress in strengthening their life skills and
family relationships, getting them ready for life
on their own. In addition, the ShareLife funded
Youth in Transition programs helps youth in
foster care to transition to independent living.
Sunday, April 2nd is ShareLife Sunday
Please give generously.

CATHOLIC MISSIONS IN CANADA
His Eminence, Thomas Cardinal Collins, requests your
presence at the Tastes of Heaven Gala 2017 on:
Thursday, April 6, 2017 Cocktails 6:00 p.m.
Dinner 7:00 p.m. Bellvue Manor, 8083 Jane Street,
In 2017, our gala will celebrate Love of Neighbour.
Pope Francis has said that Love of God and Love of
Neighbour are one and the same thing. We cannot love
one without loving the other. In Canada today, essential
ministry of the Catholic Church in 24 Canadian dioceses
would greatly suffer or simply not be possible without
additional fund. Your gift to Catholic Missions In Canada
will assist by supporting missionaries; building and
repair of churches; religious education of children, youth
and adults; formation of lay leaders; and education of
seminarians…ensuring that Canada’s missionaries are
able to keep the doors of our Canadian missions open
and shining with the beacon of Christ’s Lift to those
under their pastoral care! For sponsorship or tickets,
visit our website www.cmic.info or contact us at
416-934-3424 or 1-866-937-2642 or email
