The National Collection for Development and Peace will take place during Masses on April 6, Solidarity Sunday.
Join people around the world as they Turn Debt into Hope by focusing on the devastating effects of this cycle of debt on our sisters and brothers in the Global South. The campaign also highlights the consequences of the ecological debt as the resources of these countries are exploited, causing environmental degradation and the persecution of people who oppose these actions.
Inspired by this call to justice, we are joining Caritas Internationalis’ campaign Turn Debt into Hope along with many other faith-based and civil society organisations.
Together, we urge decision-makers to prioritise people and planet over mere profit and demand debt justice for communities crushed by unjust and unpayable debts.
As the Holy Father writes, “if we really wish to prepare a path to peace in our world, we must commit ourselves to remedying the remote causes of injustice, settling unjust and unpayable debts” (Spes Non Confundit, 16).
