"Our lives are defined by what we do with the treasures we have received.”
That timeless message is powerful as we respond to the many challenges – economic and otherwise – for thousands of people in the Archdiocese of Toronto. Challenges that Lisa faced before she turned to a ShareLife-supported agency for help...
“Almost two years ago I was driving down the street when a sign caught my eye. It said ‘Rose of Sharon Services for Young Mothers’, as well as a phone number.” recalls Lisa. She was four months pregnant, 18 years old, and barely had a grade ten education. Lisa pulled out her phone realizing she had nothing to lose as she dialed the number to Rose of Sharon. “I didn’t know it at the time, but that was one of the most important phone calls of my life.” said Lisa. She graduated from high school last year and began taking studies for an advanced college diploma in Fashion Business Management. Since Lisa became part of the Rose of Sharon community, her life is back in the right direction and things are falling into place.
“Not bad for two years and one little phone call!” beams Lisa.
Last year, nearly 250,000 people in our Archdiocese were helped in more than 20 languages, receiving the care, respect and compassion they rightly deserve. In addition, countless others were assisted through outreach programs around the world.
As we launch the 2013 Parish Campaign, a generous donor will match all new or increased gifts up to a total of $800,000 through the Sharelife Community Challenge!
By supporting the ShareLife campaign, we demonstrate the power of Catholic charity in the greater community by the sharing of time, talent and treasure with those around us. Please join us in working wonders in the lives of those less fortunate by making an online donation to support the 2013 ShareLife Parish Campaign today!
