Development and Peace
-
The Church teaches that social justice is an integral part of evangelization and an essential part of the Church’s mission. There are so many issues of injustice all over our world that it is hard to know where to begin... The Reel Justice Film Festival is back!! Our five films this year focus on land and placemaking, tackling themes of food sovereignty, land rights, endangered species, and organic agriculture. 2024 Film Schedule: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WO8-RegJ2d8

Mission Statement
The Canadian Catholic Organization for Development and Peace, a democratic movement for international solidarity, supports partners in the Global South in the pursuit of alternatives to unjust social, political and economic structures.
It educates the Canadian population about the causes of impoverishment of peoples and mobilizes actions for change.
In the struggle for human dignity, Development and Peace associates with social change groups in the North and South.
It supports women in their search for social and economic justice.
Development and Peace, the official development organization of the Canadian Catholic Church, is inspired by the values of the Gospel, particularly "the preferential option for the poor."
Adopted September 10, 1995.
