THINKfast 2022: “People & Planet First”
A justice experience for young adults (18-39)
Saturday April 2, 2022 10 am – 7 pm (in-person gathering)
St. Patrick’s Church Hall 139 McCaul Street, Toronto, ON
Inviting young adults (age 18-39) to join in a 24-hour fast to reflect and explore important issues facing our world today.
Your fast will begin on your own Friday April 1, and all participants will gather together for the in-person gathering on Saturday April 2.
Together, we will explore the theme of this year’s Development & Peace Campaign, “People & Planet First”. Through input, discussion, prayer and reflection, you will learn about the call and responsibility to care for the wounded earth, and the impact that we have made on the human community and all of creation. We will explore other key issues of responsibility and accountability, as well as how we as Catholics and people of faith are invited to stand in solidarity, facing these issues in our human family today.
Our day will end with Sunday Mass and Supper.
To support the work of Development & Peace (Caritas Canada) and the ShareLent 2022 Campaign, participants of this THINKfast will raise money through pledges of support for their participation in the 24-hour fast.
