To make international solidarity a priority, we must join forces here in Canada in solidarity with our marginalized sisters and brothers in the Global South. By becoming a member of Development and Peace ― Caritas Canada, you help us wield influence. When we dialogue with governments, funding agencies and other outside entities, there is power in speaking as the voice of thousands of people.
Joining the Development and Peace — Caritas Canada movement means:
Join us and amplify your voice to bring about positive social change! Until 10 February 2027, membership is FREE, whatever your age.
Volunteering with us is a great way to contribute to our work if you are not yet ready to become a member.
Our volunteer opportunities are all based in local communities across all of Canada – wherever you are, you can help! Volunteers assist our members and staff with our education, advocacy, and fundraising activities in parishes, schools, and the wider community.
Whether you like working with people or prefer quiet administrative tasks, we have something for you!
Join us! Contact one of our animators in your area to learn more.

Development and Peace ― Caritas Canada is blessed to count in its larger spiritual family many who devote a significant proportion of their time, their talents and their possessions to serving others. So inspiring are their lives that even when they leave this world, “their righteousness endures forever” (2 Corinthians 9:9).
Although mere words cannot do justice to their legacies, we are sometimes compelled to pay homage to such people through commemorative articles and reflections like these.
Don’t miss anything about the work of our international partners or our awareness and mobilization campaigns.
