Break the Silence
Please help Break the Silence on the persecution of Christians and minority faith groups around the world. Hear their stories and show your solidarity with our brothers and sisters.
Parishes
We are grateful for the support of our Catholic Bishops, our Parish Priests and the Catholic community to raise awareness for persecuted Christians via ACN’s #RedWednesday. From lighting red, parishioners wearing red, organising a #RW liturgy for the persecuted Church or taking on a Parish challenge for displaced young Christians.
Schools
Get your school involved! Find out how your schools could get involved with the primary and secondary school Red Wednesday resources with presentations, details on the livesteam, prayer or fundraising activities and much more.
Fundraising Ideas
You could hold a bake sale, a supper club or raffle. How about theming your event red or with an African twist. Or why not challenge yourself or a group of friends to a sponsored run, walk, cycle. Change a life today.
