What is Giving Tuesday Canada?
Giving Tuesday Canada is a national day of giving that takes place on December 3rd each year. It’s a day for Canadians to come together to donate to charities and causes that are important to them. (taken from the Giving Tuesday FAQs literature)
Our community is called to be a stable and radiating centre of the presence and power of Christ, within the church and society. Our apostolate is the outflowing of our union with God and with one another in God.
(SSJD Rule of Life)
… Our lives are shaped by the gospel imperative of prayer, hospitality, spiritual guidance, ministering to those in need, work for justice and peace, and reverence for the whole creation. As we minister to others in loving service, we minister to Christ himself.
(SSJD Rule of Life)
The pure and life-giving foundation to our life is our enduring love and relationship with God so that all we do is for the glory and manifestation of Christ’s loving presence in the world.
