Defending persecuted Christians throughout the world

Aid to the Church in Need (ACN) is a pontifical foundation directly under the Holy See.

ACN supports the faithful wherever they are persecuted, oppressed or in need, through information, prayer, and action. Undertaking thousands of projects every year, the charity provides emergency support for people experiencing persecution, transport for clergy and lay

Church workers, children’s Bibles, media and evangelisation projects, churches, Mass stipends and other support for priests and nuns and training for seminarians. Here we share news from countries around the world where ACN has been active in recent weeks.
