Red Wednesday

A day to stand up for persecuted Christians!

Today Aid to the Church in Need encourages people around the world to gather and draw attention to the plight of those who are persecuted and oppressed for their religious beliefs.

Red Wednesday is an initiative of ACN where cathedrals, churches and public buildings around the world will light up in red to show solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Christ. The purpose of Red Wednesday is to join together and raise a strong voice in support of the Christians who are unable to speak freely, and who look to us to speak on their behalf.

Tragically there are millions of people who are robbed of their religious freedom and persecution for their beliefs. Each of us who has the freedom to practice our faith has an added duty to stand up for those who do not.

The Mass is the most effective prayer that could be said on behalf of those who have died. ACN can arrange recurring annual Masses for your dearly departed loved ones.
