ShareLife

Today is ShareLife Sunday! Please give generously and wholeheartedly online at sharelife.org/donate or at your parish using a ShareLife envelope. Fifty years ago, a moment of conscience changed everything. In 1976, Archbishop Philip Pocock chose a path rooted in faith, compassion, and a deep respect for every human life, and soon after, ShareLife was born. As we celebrate our 50th anniversary, we honour what our community has built together and what you have made possible through your care for others. Today, that same spirit lives on through your support of more than 40 ShareLife-funded agencies. Through your kindness, families find stability, newcomers find safety, seniors are not forgotten, young people find hope, and those facing hunger find food on the table. Looking ahead, the needs before us are urgent, in our communities, and beyond. We are called to continue this mission. Together, with your faith in action, we can live the Gospel every day.

Steadfast Spirit, grow in us awareness of your constant love and movement. Help us to walk through shadows and graves, close to your love and undying in our trust that you are at work for our good and the good of the world. Amen. @CCCB_CECC

It's the first of three special #ShareLife Sundays across the @archtoronto! There is a special collection this weekend for @ShareLifeCan.

March 22 is ShareLife Sunday. Please give at your parish using a ShareLife envelope, online through the parish website, or at sharelife.org/donate. Thank you for living the Gospel by providing for those in need! @ShareLifeCan

This weekend is ShareLife Sunday. Today and tomorrow, special collections will take place at your parish. Please give generously and wholeheartedly at your parish or securely online at sharelife.org/donate. ShareLife is more than a collection — it is how we put our love for one another into action, it is how we follow the parable of the Good Samaritan, it is how we bring our Catholic values to life. Your faithful generosity makes it possible for more than 40 ShareLife-funded agencies to bring the Gospel to life in all that they do. This week, ShareLife is on the cover of The Catholic Register acknowledging our 50th anniversary, calling back to 1976 when Archbishop Philip Pocock’s decision of conscience made the front page of newspapers. We invite you to pick up a copy of this special edition or visit @CatholicRegistr’s website to learn about the “why” and history of ShareLife that grew to become 50 years of your faith in action.

This weekend, March 21–22, marks the first ShareLife Sunday of our 50th Anniversary year.   You may have seen the poster in your parish featuring Archbishop Philip Pocock—marking the moment that led to ShareLife’s founding. Fifty years ago, his Declaration on Behalf of Life called our Catholic community to uphold the dignity of every person through concrete acts of love and shared responsibility.   As Cardinal Leo reflects in our new Campaign Video at bit.ly/sharelife-50th…: “It was 50 years ago this year that one of my esteemed predecessors, Archbishop Philip Pocock, made a bold and strong declaration concerning the sacredness of life, publicly embracing a key tenet of our beliefs as a Catholic community.”   That same conviction continues today. For fifty years, you have brought that declaration to life—through care, dignity, and hope in the moments people need it most.   Through your sacrificial gift at your parish or sharelife.org/donate, families are fed, seniors are cared for, and those facing life’s most difficult moments are met with compassion. Across more than 40 ShareLife-funded agencies, your faith is lived out in real and meaningful ways.   We invite you to take part this ShareLife Sunday. Please give generously and wholeheartedly this weekend, either at your parish or securely online at sharelife.org/donate.   Thank you for living the Gospel and continuing this mission of faith in action, today and into the years ahead.

Yesterday marked a meaningful moment in ShareLife’s 50th anniversary year. It was moving to hear ShareLife reflected at Mass at @StMikesCathTO. We are grateful to Fr. Kevin Adriano for highlighting our mission ahead of ShareLife Sunday and reaffirming the ways in which the Gospel continues to be lived out across our Catholic community.

St. Joseph, Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary, pray for us. #solemnity

On March 19, at 11 AM, fifty years ago, Archbishop Philip Pocock made his Declaration on Behalf of Life — a defining moment that led to the formation of ShareLife. At a time when the dignity of human life was being challenged, he chose to speak with clarity and courage, calling our community to live out its faith in action. Today, we mark 50 years of your faith in action across our Catholic community, a story now brought to life in our 2026 ShareLife Campaign Video: bit.ly/sharelife-50th… For fifty years, our community has lived out its faith through compassion for our brothers and sisters in need. Today, your faithful support through ShareLife continues to reach those who struggle to put food on the table, offer comfort in times of crisis, and walk alongside those facing life's most difficult moments. As you watch, we hope you see yourself in this story — a story of a community shaped by faith, expressed in love, and sustained through acts of care for one another, which began fifty years ago and continues today because of you. In the words of Cardinal Leo, "Thank you for the countless ways you live the Gospel each day. May God bless you abundantly and powerfully."
