DEVELOPMENT AND PEACE ACTION CARD: 

Following up on the information booklet you received in last Sunday’s bulletin, today you will find action cards to sign at the back of the church. This card is a way to express our support with small-scale farmers who urgently request the promotion of agricultural models that will enable them to feed their communities, participate in the fight against climate change, and improve their living conditions. All signed cards will be mailed together to D&P headquarters.
