This Benefactors’ Day, we at ACN want to express our heart-filled gratitude for everything you do to make our work possible.

Benefactors’ Day is a heartfelt celebration dedicated to you – our ACN family – whose generosity makes our mission possible.

Thanks to your unwavering support, we are able to share God’s love with those in need around the world. On this special day, we want to express just how deeply grateful we are for your prayers, Mass offerings, gifts, and ongoing commitment.

This year, we are especially thankful for your incredible support of our projects in the Holy Land, Nigeria, Syria and Lebanon. Your compassion continues to bring hope and spiritual healing to countless lives and we want to share this prayer from the Holy Father.

Pope Leo XIV’s Prayer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

Lord, I come to your tender heart today,
to you who have words that set my heart ablaze,
to you who pour out compassion on the little ones and the poor,
on those who suffer, and on all human miseries.

I desire to know you more, to contemplate you in the Gospel,
to be with you and learn from you
and from the charity with which you allowed yourself
to be touched by all forms of poverty.

You showed us the Father’s love by loving us without measure
with your divine and human heart.

Grant all your children the grace of encountering you.
Change, shape, and transform our plans,
so that we seek only you in every circumstance:
in prayer, in work, in encounters, and in our daily routine.

From this encounter, send us out on mission,
a mission of compassion for the world
in which you are the source from which all consolation flows.

Amen.

Benefactors Day Livestream Mass

On Friday 27th as part of Benefactor’s day and the Feast of the Sacred Heart, ACN invite you to come together online with fellow benefactors to celebrate the Feast of the Sacred Heart.

The Holy Mass for your intentions will be offered by Fr Dominic Robinson SJ, Ecclesiastical Assistant of ACN (UK). This Mass is a sign of our gratitude to you, our wonderful benefactors, for all that you do to help persecuted Christians. Caroline Hull, National Director of ACN (UK) looks forward to giving thanks and providing you with a short update.

We commemorate ACN’s Benefactor’s Day on the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Christ—a celebration of Christ’s boundless love for humanity. This same love shines through your faith and generosity, as benefactors who support our brothers and sisters around the world. Many of these people you may never meet, in places you may never visit, yet your impact is profound. Please know that your compassion is making a real difference.

Thanks to you, we are able to work in over 140 countries around the world funding over 5,000 projects – none of this would be possible without you.
