Gilbert Bigio, a Haitian industrialist widely described as the country’s first billionaire, and who was sanctioned by Canada for ties to criminal gangs in his homeland, died on Sept. 29 in Florida. He was 91.

His death was reported in the Haitian press.

With interests in steel, energy, logistics, consumer goods, construction and banking, Mr. Bigio’s holding company, long known as the GB Group and eventually renamed BGO, touched the impoverished island nation’s economy in every corner.

Mr. Bigio’s family remain major players in what the International Monetary Fund and others have described as Haiti’s tiny economic elite. BGO supplies cooking oils and soap to Haitian households, steel from Haiti’s only steel mill to its builders and deepwater port facilities to its shippers. BGO became a regional economic force as well, owning gas stations in Jamaica and the Dominican Republic.

The elite plays an outsize role in Haiti’s chaotic politics, and Mr. Bigio appears not to have been an exception, though he stayed largely out of public view and rarely granted interviews. In December 2022, Canada sanctioned him, along with two other Haitian businessmen.

“Canada has reason to believe these individuals are using their status as high-profile members of the economic elite in Haiti to protect and enable the illegal activities of armed criminal gangs, including through money laundering and other acts of corruption,” a foreign ministry statement said.

“The sanctions Canada has imposed are intended to put pressure on those responsible for the ongoing violence and instability in Haiti,” the statement continued. “These people must stop providing funds and weapons to criminal gangs in Haiti.”

According to Reuters, the GB Group did not immediately reply to the sanctions; one Haiti expert, Jake Johnston, of the Center for Economic Policy and Research in Washington, said in an interview that Canada’s decision was a largely “symbolic” move with little practical impact. Members of Mr. Bigio’s family did not respond in recent days to queries for this obituary.

Mr. Johnston said Mr. Bigio’s immense wealth — he bought an ultraluxury $132,000 Mercedes Maybach from the estate of the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, The Miami Herald reported — was important to contrast with the brutal poverty of his native land.

International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, 17 October 2026

International Day For The Eradication Of Poverty, 17 October 2026

Date: Fri, Oct 16 2026 | International Day
Location: United Nations Headquarters in New York

United for Peace and Human Rights: Safe Homes for All

16 October 2026 | United Nations Headquarters, New York

The International Day for the Eradication of Poverty is officially observed each year on 17 October. This year, the United Nations commemoration will take place on Friday, 16 October 2026, bringing together people with lived experience of poverty, Member States, civil society and other stakeholders.

Under the 2026–2028 theme “United for Peace and Human Rights,” this year’s observance highlights the close connections between poverty, human rights and peace. The theme recognizes that peace requires more than the absence of conflict. It also requires justice, social protection, meaningful participation and respect for human dignity and human rights.

The 2026 focus, “Safe Homes for All,” draws attention to adequate housing as a foundation for a life of dignity. More than 2.8 billion people worldwide face some form of housing inadequacy, with the greatest burden falling on people already experiencing poverty and exclusion.

The commemoration will amplify the voices and lived experiences of people affected by poverty and emphasize the importance of developing policies with people experiencing poverty, not simply for them. It will also highlight the Doha Political Declaration’s reaffirmation of the right to an adequate standard of living, including safe, accessible and affordable housing.

Province Apostolic Plan 2022-2029

Province Apostolic Plan 2022-2029

For which one of you, when he wants to build a tower, does not first sit down and calculate the cost, to see if he has enough to complete it? (Luke 14:28)

Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” (Matthew 6:34)

Animated by the Universal Apostolic Preferences of the Society and encouraged by understanding them as “orientations that go beyond ‘doing something’ and enable us to achieve our transformation as persons” according to Fr. General’s letter of 2019 , the Chinese Province responded by embarking on a journey of over two years to develop a Province Apostolic Plan (PAP) 2022 – 2029. This document sets out the Vision, Priorities, Goals, Actions and Follow-up Measures for a Review of the Plan which will guide the Province in the years ahead.



Under the direction of a nine-person Preparatory Team consisting of both Jesuits and lay partners (both men and women), we held three Province Assemblies over two years. We discussed the Culture of Positivity and Collaboration necessary for our conversion, conducted a Province-wide SWOT analysis as an exercise to gain a more concrete grasp of our situation.

In the interim period between the First and the Second Assemblies, the mission of the Society was revisited and the context of our Province was analyzed. The Second Assembly was then devoted to formulating the Vision of the PAP. After arriving at a consensus for the Vison, drafts of the Priorities under the Vision were also developed. Subsequent to the Assembly, the Priorities were refined and confirmed. They are presented below:

Vision Statement

Inspired by Ignatian spirituality and in creative collaboration, we, Jesuits and Companions in Mission, aspire to journey with all, especially the youth and the deprived, towards reconciliation and a future filled with hope and joy.

Pope Leo is wrong about hunger

Opinion by David Harsanyi, Washington Examiner

Pope Leo is wrong about hunger

For Catholics, the Pope is the vicar of Christ and the spiritual leader of the Church — which is to say, his positions are typically none of my business. Then again, any time the pope delivers a statement that speaks to the political aspirations of the secular left, the media amplifies it to lecture the rest of us.

The latest such comment has to do with world hunger.

“It is important to resist the commodification of basic human needs,” the Pope said, criticizing slow humanitarian aid from the United States to the U.N. World Food Program. “Food, water and healthcare cannot be subordinated to market considerations or geopolitical interests.”

Virtually every major modern famine in history occurred in places that “subordinated” the commodification of food for a greater good. Though, Leo has it backward. The market is the natural state of economic activity. We subordinate the market. The question is, are we better off when we do? Almost every time, the answer is no.

It’s not an accident that capitalistic nations create so much wealth that they can be generous not only to their own hungry but also to the hungry elsewhere. The proportion of the global population facing hunger today has declined dramatically over the past 30-40 years because of technological advancements and efficiencies fueled by trade and market-driven profits.

Which is why the U.S. has pledged nearly $750 million to the U.N. World Food Program, far more than any nation. China generally contributes under $20 million and Russia around $30 million.

It should also be noted that government aid is not the only assistance we give. Americans are the most charitable people in the world.

“Access to adequate food is a fundamental human right grounded in the dignity of every person,” the pope went on. “Meeting this need not only alleviates suffering but also addresses underlying causes of geopolitical instability. Indeed, food security is an essential component of global and integral security.”

Most people acknowledge that feeding and caring for the poor is a moral imperative. Being fed is not a “fundamental human right,” however, because it requires compelling another person to provide it. Americans believe — or should believe — that only the “fundamental rights” are those that call on others to abstain from interfering. That includes things like freedom of speech and religion. Your healthcare can’t be a right.

Moreover, helping the poor without any expectation that the government will change its policies that strip its people of dignity does nothing to help the underlying causes of geopolitical instability. If we choose, Americans have every right to attach expectations to their aid.

The United Nations, after all, is teeming with illiberal tyrannical nations that drive their own people into destitution. The areas most in danger of hunger, according to a recent U.N. report, are Sudan, South Sudan, Yemen, Nigeria, Somalia, and the Gaza Strip. All of them struggle in part because of Islamism, which carries a political agenda that runs counter to every Christian tenet imaginable. It would be nice if the Church spoke out about corrupt regimes and Islamists with the same passion it does the U.S., which has done more for the world’s poor than any institution that has ever existed.

Jesuit Novices Pronounce First Vows

August 22, 2023 — Twenty-four Jesuit novices in the United States, Canada and Haiti pronounced first vows of poverty, chastity and obedience this month. A novice spends two years at the novitiate for the first stage of Jesuit formation, culminating in the profession of first vows in the Society of Jesus.

Nine Jesuits pronounced first vows on August 12 at Saint Thomas More Catholic Church in St. Paul, Minnesota. Front row: Solomon Liebl, Leonardo Rander Assé Jr., Ryan Cruise, and Joseph Ertle. Back row: Brian Kemper, Scott Fox, Carl Caceres, Michael Bauer, and Benjamin Rogers.

Vow Day Masses were held at Sacred Heart Chapel at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles; Saint Thomas More Catholic Church in St. Paul, Minnesota; the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Syracuse, New York; St. Charles Borromeo Church in Grand Coteau, Louisiana; Church of the Gesù in Montreal; and the chapel of the Missionary Sisters of Christ the King in Port-au-Prince, Haiti.

Justin Sauro, SJ, and Nader Nasralla, SJ, pronounced first vows on August 12 at St. Kevin Church in Montreal.

At the Mass, each Jesuit novice makes the profession of vows individually in front of the Eucharist, just as St. Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Jesuits, and some of his first companions did. They also receive a vow cross that they will keep for the rest of their lives.

Niko Lignore, SJ, Fr. Nick Colalella, SJ, and Luke Olsen, SJ, pronounced first vows on August 12 at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Syracuse, New York.

During their two years in the novitiate, the novices prepared to become vowed members of the order by learning about the Society, participating in local ministries and living in Jesuit communities. They also embarked on pilgrimages, performed community service and completed the Spiritual Exercises — a 30-day silent retreat developed by St. Ignatius.

Roodler Datilus, SJ, and Renaud Morantus, SJ, pronounced first vows at the Missionary Sisters of Christ the King in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, on August 6, pictured here with Fr. Jean Denis Saint Félix, SJ, superior for Haiti.

Novices also experience life as a Jesuit, including living in community and ministering in different settings — from hospitals and third world countries to soup kitchens and Jesuit high schools.

Pierre Vu Thompson, SJ, pronounced first vows at Sacred Heart Chapel at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, on August 12.

By the time a novice kneels at the altar to pronounce vows, he is prepared and ready to speak the words of the vow formula to God, which concludes: “And as you have freely given me the desire to make offering, so also may you give me the abundant grace to fulfill it.”

Seven Jesuits pronounced first vows on August 12 at St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church in Grand Coteau, Louisiana: Matthew Brazzolotto, Joe Laughlin, José López, Carlos Martínez-Vela, Scott McKillip, Chris Ross and Paolo Taffaro.

Following first vows, Jesuits preparing to be priests usually begin three years of studies: two years of philosophy studies, combined with one year of graduate-level theology courses. Those men who take vows as a Jesuit brother will usually take several theology courses. Click here to read more about the steps of Jesuit formation at beajesuit.org.

Pope Francis Calls for Global Wealth Redistribution

Tax the Rich: Pope Francis Calls for Global Wealth Redistribution

ARIZONA FABI/AFP/Getty ImagesTHOMAS D. WILLIAMS, PH.D.

6 Feb 202020340


Tax cuts for the wealthy constitute a “structure of sin,” Pope Francis said Wednesday in a passionate address calling for international wealth redistribution.

“Every year hundreds of billions of dollars, which should be paid in taxes to fund health care and education, accumulate in tax haven accounts,” the pontiff told participants in a Vatican seminar, “thus impeding the possibility of the dignified and sustained development of all social agents.”

“Today’s structures of sin include repeated tax cuts for the richest people, often justified in the name of investment and development,” Francis told the meeting organized by the Pontifical Academy for Social Sciences.

During his discourse, the pope repeated his conviction that poverty is on the rise worldwide and “the poor increase around us.”

With the passage of time and the advances of civilization the number of poor people increases rather than diminishing, Francis similarly asserted last June, and “the poor are always poorer, and today they are poorer than ever.”

As a Brookings Institution report noted in late 2018, however, the world is currently experiencing “the lowest prevalence of extreme poverty ever recorded in human history — less than 8 percent,” and that number falls with each passing year.

According to the widely used “international poverty line,” people are considered to be in “extreme poverty” if they live on less than $1.90 per day or its equivalent.

In the world today, less than 10 percent of the global population lives in extreme poverty, whereas just 30 years ago (1990), some 37 percent of the world lived in extreme poverty. Two centuries ago, nearly everyone in the world lived in extreme poverty.

Ben Carson: We won’t allow forgotten Americans to be left behind. Here’s how.

Ben Carson is the U.S. secretary of housing and urban development.

The nation’s unemployment rate is at a 49-year low, wages are on the rise, and last year, the official poverty rate fell from 12.7 percent to 12.3 percent, with even larger decreases and record lows for Hispanic Americans and African Americans. While all these indicators are great news, not everyone is benefiting from the improved economy.

Investment in many places in this country has lagged for generations. A mere 20 counties accounted for half the national increase in businesses from 2010 to 2014. Meanwhile, small counties (fewer than 100,000 residents) accounted for only 9 percent of all job growth between 2010 and 2014. Small wonder that frustration is running high among those who feel they have been left behind.

During his inaugural address, President Trump declared that “the forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer.” It is critical that we deliver on this promise and ensure the gains of the past two years reach everyAmerican.

Last December, Republicans passed the Tax Cut and Jobs Act, which included a powerful new incentive promoting private investment in distressed communities designated as opportunity zones. Building on this success, the president established the White House Opportunity and Revitalization Council this past week. I am very proud to chair this council, which consists of members across 13 agencies whose mission it is to jump-start the development of distressed urban and rural communities by streamlining, coordinating and targeting public revitalization programs.

Pope decries that 'wealthy few' feast on what belongs to all

By The Associated Press

VATICAN CITY — Nov 18, 2018, 8:55 AM ET

The Associated Press


Championing the cause of the poor, Pope Francis on Sunday lamented that "the wealthy few" enjoy what, "in justice, belongs to all" and said Christians cannot remain indifferent to the growing cries of the exploited and the indigent, including migrants.

Francis invited about 6,000 poor people as well as some of the volunteers who help them to the splendor of St. Peter's Basilica where he celebrated Mass on a day the Catholic Church dedicates to the needy. Later, he sat down with 1,500 of the indigent for a lunch of lasagna, chicken, mashed potatoes and tiramisu in a Vatican auditorium.

In his homily, Francis said "we Christians cannot stand with arms folded in indifference or with arms outstretched in helplessness" about those in need. He cited the "stifled cry" of the unborn, of starving children, "of young people more used to the explosion of bombs than happy shouts at the playground."

He also drew attention to the plight of abandoned elderly, the friendless and "the cry of all those forced to flee their homes and native land for an uncertain future. It is the cry of entire peoples, deprived even of the great natural resources at their disposal."

Francis said the poor were weeping "while the wealthy few feast on what, in justice, belongs to all. Injustice is the perverse root of poverty."

"The cry of the poor daily becomes stronger but every day heard less," he said. That cry is "drowned out by the din on the rich few, who grow ever fewer and more rich," the pontiff said.

Last week, doctors, nurses and other healthworkers volunteered their time to offer medical assistance to the homeless and other need from morning till night in St. Peter's Square. The initiative reflects the Francis' determination that the Vatican promote by way of example priorities for rank-and-file faithful.

Francis said during Mass Sunday that "it is important for all of us to live our faith in contact with those in need."

Later, in remarks to pilgrims and tourists in St. Peter's Square, Francis spoke of the futility of making riches one's goal. He noted that with at the end of each life "the power of money and of economic means with which we presume with presumptuousness to buy everything and everyone won't be able to be used anymore."

UN deputy chief highlights importance of public institutions in reaching development goals

18 July 2017 – United Nations Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed today urged public institutions to embrace the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its 17 Goals (SDGs) to end poverty, reduce inequality and end tackle climate change.

“When the centre of government functions effectively, collective expertise from across the public sector can be mobilized and brought to bear on the most pressing decisions confronting a country,” the Deputy Secretary-General told a high-level event on getting Governments organized to deliver on the SDGs.

She said that Governments and public institutions will work out how best Governments can reach the SDGs, but only “if it is driven by visionary and committed public leadership, adequate resources and capacity and the exchange of lessons learned.”

Addressing the event, organized in part by the UN Department for Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA), Ms. Mohammed noted that the SDGs call for Governments to listen to the people and engage them in decision-making.

She stressed that Government mobilize all actors around the SDGs, and ensure that institutions are effective, accountable and inclusive.

“Few tasks are more important for the effective functioning of government than leadership and coordination from the top of the executive branch,” Ms. Mohammed said.

She noted that the 17 SDGs are focused on putting people first and leaving no one behind: “No one is too hard to reach.”

The event was held as part of the High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development, which started on 10 July and wraps up tomorrow, and which this year focuses on eliminating poverty.

The annual forum is designed to be a platform for discussing implementation of the anti-poverty agenda, and for Governments to learn from each other.

This year's discussions include presentations on the challenges and gaps in reaching the development agenda in 44 countries that volunteered to give progress reports, and more than 120 side events related to the SDGs.

Among today's other events related to the HLPF was the SDG Business Forum.

Poverty not ‘a misfortune,’ but ‘an injustice,’ says Peruvian theologian

National News




By Donis Tracy • Catholic News Service • Posted October 24, 2016

IRVING, Texas (CNS) — Dominican Father Gustavo Gutierrez, a Peruvian theologian and one of the principal founders of liberation theology, told a Dallas audience that “poverty is not a destiny, it’s a condition.”

“Poverty is not a misfortune, it’s an injustice,” he said at an Oct. 21 panel discussion in Irving co-hosted by the University of Dallas School of Ministry and the Dominicans’ Southern province.

Dallas Auxiliary Bishop Greg Kelly welcomed the more than 500 people who attended the event, and Dominican Father Tom Condon, the province’s prior provincial, told the audience, “This night may be a little bit disturbing. “It’s a topic that should unsettle us.”

Father Gutierrez, together with Dr. Paul Farmer, humanitarian physician and founding director of Partners in Health, and Dominican Father Bruno Cadore, master of the Order of Preachers, as the Dominicans are known, spoke of the need to understand poverty.

Their conversation was based on the best-selling book “In the Company of the Poor,” which was co-written by Farmer and Father Gutierrez with a preface by Father Cadore.

“Poverty is not only related to money. There is material poverty, of course, but there’s also spiritual poverty, institutional poverty. It’s a complex issue,” said Farmer during the panel discussion.

“All too often we romanticize what it means to love the poor. To love the poor is not a romanticization — it’s a way of life,” he said.

The three spoke of the need to “have a preferential option given to the poor.”

“The question is not to have a preferential option given to the poor because they are more loved by God, but to see that they are the persons who need the most protection,” stressed Father Gutierrez. “To love one poor person is to be Catholic.”

“It is very clear that we must be in solidarity with the poor,” he added.

“We have to consider solidarity is not an action, it’s a way of life,” Father Cadore said. “Nobody has the right to decide that someone, or a group of people, are not part of society. We have to decide to live our life in a way that includes all people.”

Farmer spoke of the need to “not only stand in solidarity, but to provide material solidarity as well.”

But to do that, first “we must speak to the poor. We have to know them. We have to give the floor to those whom we are talking about — to give them the floor and let them talk,” he said.

The panel discussion was moderated by Dominican Sister Barbara Reid, vice president and academic dean at Catholic Theological Union in Chicago.

“We have been talking about the poor quite a bit today, but it is quite important to hear from those we have been speaking about,” she said.

The event was part of a three-day Dominican conference marking the Dominican order’s 800th anniversary. Run by the order’s southern province, formally called the Province of St. Martin de Porres, the conference was organized under the title “Living the Legacy.” More than 250 Dominican friars, sisters and laypeople attended the gathering.

The panel discussion, which was open to the public, was part of the University of Dallas’ Landregan Lecture series.

Pope Francis and Anglican leader vow joint action on poverty and environment

ECUMENISM

By Philip Pullella | 3 hours ago

ROME (Reuters) The heads of the Roman Catholic and Anglican churches said on Wednesday (Oct. 5) they would work together to help the poor and protect the environment despite their unity being blocked by differences over women priests and gay marriage.

Pope Francis and Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby made the pledge in a joint statement at a vespers, or evening prayer service, in Rome to mark the 50th anniversary of the start of theological dialogue between the two Churches in 1966.

“While, like our predecessors, we ourselves do not yet see solutions to the obstacles before us, we are undeterred,” the joint statement said, specifically mentioning the ordination of women and “more recent questions regarding human sexuality.”

Last January the Anglican Communion rebuked its liberal U.S. branch, the Episcopal Church, for supporting same-sex marriage, a move that averted a formal schism in the world’s third-largest Christian denomination but left deep divisions unresolved.

The vespers were held in the same Rome church from where Pope Gregory I sent St. Augustine to convert the English in 597, nearly 1,000 years before King Henry VIII broke Rome in 1534 to start the Church of England.

After 1534, there had been no meeting between an Archbishop of Canterbury and a pope until 1966 when Michael Ramsey met Pope Paul VI.


In their joint declaration, the pope and Welby said their two Churches could do much together despite “the imperfect union we already share.”

“We can, and must, work together to protect and preserve our common home: living, teaching and acting in ways that favor a speedy end to the environmental destruction that offends the Creator and degrades his creatures,” the joint declaration said.

They vowed to fight “a culture of waste” where the most vulnerable of people in society are marginalized and discarded and to work together to work for peace and bring education, healthcare, food, clean water and shelter to the poor.

The Anglican communion counts some 85 million members and the Roman Catholic Church has about 1.2 billion.

Terrorism, Climate Change, Poverty Being Used To Unite Iron And Clay! 3 Angels Prevent Cleaving

ProphesyAgainTV

Published on Nov 13, 2015


“We have come to a time when God's sacred work is represented by the feet of the image in which the iron was mixed with the miry clay...Every soul who is loyal to the commandments of God will see that the distinguishing feature of our faith is the seventh day Sabbath. If the government would honor the Sabbath as God has commanded, it would stand in the strength of God and in defense of the faith once delivered to the saints. But statesmen will uphold the spurious Sabbath, and will mingle their religious faith with the observance of this child of the Papacy, placing it above the Sabbath which the Lord has sanctified and blessed, setting it apart for man to keep holy, as a sign between Him and His people to a thousand generations. The mingling of church craft and state craft is represented by the iron and the clay. This union is weakening all the power of the churches. This investing the church with the power of the state will bring evil results.” {1MR 51.1}
