Dear Pastors, Deacons, and the Lay Faithful of Saskatchewan and Keewatin Le-Pas.
I pray this letter finds you well in these trying times. For those I might not have met, my name is Priva Hang’andu, and I am the Development and Peace animator for our region. Due to the current pandemic and more limited resources, we have not sent the package of materials as we usually do to each parish. As such, I want to briefly introduce to you our Lenten campaign, Share Love, Share Lent inspired by Pope Francis’s new encyclical, Fratelli Tutti, provide you with live links to our materials and some of our new initiatives this year. Please hold the “control” button on your computer, moving your mouse at the same time to the link you want to open, and then click your mouse on that link to see the content.
