Below is a ‘letter to the editor’ written by the Director of Public Relations and Communications at the Archdiocese of Toronto, Neil MacCarthy. The letter was published in Today’s Toronto Sun and provides poignant commentary on faith in our society, the Catholic faith in particular and the current atheist transit ad campaign making its way around the world, most recently in the Toronto transit market.

oin a group of youth just like you in the beautiful Andes Mountains.
Living among the indigenous Puruhá, you will share the lives of a rural people historically ignored by mainstream Ecuadorian society. This intensive cultural experience also provides ample opportunity to hone your linguistic talents as you learn some Quichua, the language of the Inca. In partnership with local non-governmental organizations, you will engage in activities that help communities directly. You’ll come to understand the meaning of the minga while schoolbuilding alongside community members, and you’ll learn enlightening lessons at every turn of the mountain road. So come sit on the Equator, hike the base of a volcano and explore the diverse cloud forest.
Me to We Trips in Ecuador are a demanding adventure for people who want to learn firsthand about the need to help others adapt to a changing global environment.
We would love to have you join us in the future and I encourage you to check out details about the 2009 trips online at www.metowe.com/trips.
Here you will find great videos, testimonials and photos.
