CJI’s appeals provide ways for friends and supporters to stay up to date with the work of Canadian Jesuits International, to see where we are working and who we are working with. The appeals are published twice a year to inform, inspire and encourage generous support of CJI’s work. The Christmas Appeal comes out shortly before the Advent season and the Easter Appeal is published during Lent. CJI has also launched special appeals on occasion to support emergency relief operations as a response to natural disasters, forcible displacement of people due to civil unrest and most recently, the COVID-19 crisis and the explosion in Beirut.
