You can work wonders!
ShareLife is the official annual charitable appeal of the Archdiocese of Toronto, raising funds to help support a large family of Catholic Agencies. Annually, ShareLife social service agencies provide over 381,000 services to over 114,000 people locally and assist countless more in developing countries around the world. They feed the hungry, shelter the homeless, protect the meek and care for the sick. In 42 municipalities, in 225 parishes, and in more than 20 languages, those in need received professional, faith-informed and compassionate care as a result of our generosity.
ShareLife's Mission, Vision and Values -
www.sharelife.org
ShareLife is a sign of our stewardship, and an opportunity to share the gifts of time, talent and treasure that have been entrusted to us by God. ShareLife also provides an opportunity to exercise the Lenten tradition of almsgiving. Those who volunteer and work actively for ShareLife are in fact serving in the ministry of fundraising.
"As generous distributors of God's manifold grace, put your gifts at the service of one another each in the measure he has received." (1 Peter 4:10)
Our Mission
