Stronger Together – Project Advance 2026
For over 45 years, Project Advance has been an important part in the life of our Archdiocese. Through your generosity, new churches and Catholic schools have been built, parish communities have grown, and the message of God’s love continues to touch hearts. Because of you, the mission of the Church extends far beyond the walls of your parish. The sick are comforted and cared for. Students and young people are discovering faith and purpose. Families are supported in marriage, healing, and times of loss. And those who are struggling are met with compassion and hope. Through these ministries, people are encountering Jesus Christ. All of this is possible when we work together – and our parishes and communities are stronger together.

Help Not Harm Canada
You’re invited to visit HelpNotHarmCanada.ca where you can e-mail your Member of Parliament (MP), asking for their support of Bill C-218 (The Right to Recover Act), which would amend the Criminal Code to prevent Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) from being provided when mental illness is the sole underlying condition. Without this change, MAiD will be available for those suffering from mental illness alone beginning in March 2027. Chances are you know someone struggling with mental illness — a family member, friend, or colleague. As Catholics and Canadians, we are called to offer care, hope, and protection — not death — to those who are suffering and most vulnerable. Visit HelpNotHarmCanada.ca today and ask your MP to support Bill C-218.
