This Solidarity

Calendar
introduces your
family to the work
of Development and
Peace partners in Asia,
Africa, Latin America
and the Middle East,
and invites you to make
donations that express your
family’s compassion.

Throughout his ministry Jesus felt

compassion when faced by human
suffering. Today, we are called to
feel this same depth of compassion
when we think of the people of Asia,
Africa, Latin America and the Middle
East, many of whom suffer from an
overwhelming number of crises and
injustices.

Development and Peace is part of the

many struggles of people in the Global
South for justice. Their work, and ours,
is guided by compassion. Through your
generous donations to Development and
Peace, you help build a world of justice.
“Compassion means ‘to suffer with’ and it therefore goes hand-in-hand
with the core value of solidarity - that sense of responsibility we feel for
others by virtue of our interdependence as members of one human family.”
Give Generously
