In 1927, the first organized diocese-wide charitable appeal was conducted in the Archdiocese of Toronto to support the Federation of Catholic Charities. The goal of $100,000 was reached in just four days. When the campaign ended three weeks later, $178,000 had been raised — the equivalent of roughly $1.2 million in 2008.

Today, steeped in a tradition of more than 150 years of generous giving and charitable care, we have the annual ShareLife Campaign, raising funds in support of more than 30 Catholic agencies and grant recipients. Catholics in the Archdiocese of Toronto actively respond to the call for help in our communities and around the world through ShareLife.

This is the story of how their involvement in ShareLife makes an active and meaningful difference in the lives of more than 200,000 people every year.
