During this Lent, Development and Peace has chosen "Share the Journey" as the theme for its campaign.
There are 68.5 million people in this world who have been displaced from their homes, many of these from their own countries.
Contrast this with the population of Canada that in 2018 included 37 million persons. Development and Peace joins Pope Francis and the United Nations in asking us to welcome those who have been displaced. The Pope urges us to cultivate a "culture of encounter" and tells us that when we welcome the stranger we are welcoming Jesus.
