Development and Peace – Caritas Canada was established in 1967 by the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops in response to Pope Paul VI’s call to Catholics living in developed nations “to be in the first ranks of those who spare no effort to have just and fair laws, based on moral precepts, established among all nations”.(Populorum Progressio, 81).
Development and Peace - Caritas Canada is the official international development agency of the Catholic Church of Canada.
