ShareLife 50th Anniversary Special, featuring Arthur Peters.

In this special edition, host Mickey Conlon is joined by associate editor Quinton Amundson and reporter Luke Mandato, with guest Arthur Peters, executive director of ShareLife, to mark the 50th anniversary of ShareLife's founding. The episode commemorates March 19, 1976, when Archbishop Philip Pocock announced the Declaration on Behalf of Life that would go on to launch ShareLife as the independent charitable arm of the Archdiocese of Toronto, one rooted in Catholic values. Peters shares the organization's history, from early door-to-door appeals and corporate campaigns to modern innovations like tap donations, monthly giving and food security grants. The team reflects on the enduring generosity of Toronto Catholics amid economic challenges, the $50 for 50 Years matching gift initiative (available online today up to $50,000) and a powerful testimonial from a woman helped by Rosalie Hall decades ago. The episode closes with gratitude for 50 years of living the Gospel through service and an invitation to support ShareLife through their many giving avenues, including at https://sharelife.org/.  Music on Registered courtesy of Sappheiros: https://open.spotify.com/artist/5ZVHXQZAIn9WJXvy6qn9K0 , powered by BreakingCopyright: https://breakingcopyright.com  Read these related stories from catholicregister.org:ShareLife is more than a collection | The Catholic Register - It’s about bringing the Gospel to lifeAbout the Hosts:Mickey Conlon: Is the Editor of The Catholic Register and has been a reporter and columnist for the Register.Luke Mandato: Is a reporter for The Catholic Register.Quinton Amundson: Quinton is Associate Editor at The Catholic Register.
