Geschiedenis
Development and Peace was established in 1967 by the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops in response to Pope Paul VI’s encyclical letter Populorum Progression.
Development and Peace is the Official international development organization of the Catholic Church of Canada and the Canadian member of Caritas Internationalis. Development and Peace is a membership led organization supported by parish collections, individual donations, and government grants.
The mission of Development and Pease is to promote alternatives to unfair social, political and economic structures. It aims to educate the Canadian population about the causes of poverty and mobilize Canadians towards actions for change. It also supports women in their search for social and economic justice.
For over 40 years development and peace has supported 15,200 local initiatives in fields such as agriculture, education, community action, peace, advocacy, and human rights in over 70 countries.
The Edmonton Regional Office of Development and Peace is the local contact for individuals in the Province of Alberta.
