 Dear Brothers:
The funeral for Bro. Richard Joyal (Province of Canada) is this Saturday, May 25, in Quebec. Bro. Joe Kamis will attend. Richard completed his formation in the United States and served in India and the Philippines for many years. He was closing the Foundation of Haiti when he was killed on April 25 in Port-au-Prince. Please join me in praying for Bro. Richard's eternal rest.

 Dear Brothers:
Our Province was one of 200 investment organizations, representing more than 1.5 trillion dollars in shareholder assets, that signed a letter calling for systemic change in response to the recent factory tragedies in Bangladesh.
The Interfaith Center for Corporate Responsibility, of which we are active members, organized the campaign to raise awareness and a strong call to action for industry leaders to implement lasting reforms that will ensure worker safety and welfare, and to adopt zero tolerance policies on global supply chain abuses.
The letter and sign-ons have received a lot of positive press, including this article in The New York Times.
Read the letter from ICCR and supporting organizations.
