Thomas Heine-Geldern Message

One day after Holy Mass, I heard a 12 year-old altar server say to her mother: “Mummy, I don’t know if I believe everything I hear in the church, but I feel so happy there!” I think, with God’s grace, these parents have succeeded in preparing their child for her life with God. We need to feel in our relationship with God the same sense of loving security and support that, hopefully, we find in our families: so that we grow in Faith at the same time that we grow in years.

Thanks to your constant help, ACN is able to provide the necessary tools for family and youth apostolates around the world. This includes the millions of copies of the ever popular Child’s Bible ACN publishes, and also the YOUCAT series, which is particularly useful in preparing young people for the Sacraments of First Holy Communion and Confirmation. The digital version of YOUCAT is also encouraging young people to discuss religious issues.

Let us rejoice together over these developments, and please don’t stop generously helping us to pursue this course.

Thank you in advance,

Thomas Heine-Geldern (Executive President, ACN International)
