Did you know, some 360 million Christians live in countries where they are persecuted for their faith?  Each year the papal charity Aid to the Church in Need (ACN) Ireland – which supports some 6,000 communities in 140 countries – highlights their plight during the ‘Week of Witness’ (Nov. 17-24). Red Wednesday (Nov. 20) is the highlight of the week, and Catholics are urged to keep the suffering Church in their prayers in a special way. You can find out more on www.acnireland.org
