Our expertise

Aid to the Church in Need is able to call on a team of skilled and experienced journalists, as well as the expertise of our project heads, who have a detailed knowledge of the Catholic Church in countries around the world.  Using the information we are able to obtain from these contacts, the charity regularly issues press releases.
