ShareLife’s 50th anniversary is elevating the annual parish campaign to new heights. The Archdiocese of Toronto’s charitable fundraising arm, serving more than 40 social service agencies, has thus far amassed $9.6 million, a midway sum outpacing the $8.83 million raised during the first six months of 2025 by nearly $800,000. Last year’s drive culminated in a record-breaking $15,671,786 performance. This year, the goal is to accrue at least $15.2 million.
