Bishop Fabbro encourages all of us to support Development and Peace's 2023 Share Lent Campaign "Stand For The Land". Help them Create Hope and help the poor in the Global South secure their land, homes, environment and improve their standard of living.

On 8 February 2023, the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops issued the following four pastoral letters on reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples. Intended as a framework for local engagement with Indigenous Peoples, the letters are the fruit of many months of listening, encounter, and dialogue with them, including through Listening Circles, the Indigenous Delegation to the Vatican in April 2022, and Pope Francis’ Apostolic Voyage to Canada in July of the same year.
