Supporting Aid to the Church in Need
At each of our Masses on the weekend of 29th and 30th November Mrs Betty East spoke in support of aid to the Church in Need, a universal pastoral charity of the Catholic Church.
With over 5,000 projects in Eastern Europe and throughout the world, Aid to the Church in Need (ACN) was founded on Christmas Day 1947 to help those suffering or persecuted for their Faith.
Today ACN is present wherever it is most needed, from the bleak villages of Siberia, to the underground Church in China: seminarians are trained, priests and religious supported, churches and chapels are built and restored, religious programmes are broadcast on radio and television, Bibles and religious literature are printed, refugees are helped the world over. ACN receives no government grants and relies only on the generosity of its supporters.
