Information

Speaking up for the voiceless

Providing information about the persecution and oppression of millions of Christians around the world is central to Aid to the Church in Need’s mission.

We work closely with bishops, priests and Sisters – and their faithful – in more than 130 countries. So we are able to get the latest news, facts, opinions and human stories of faith and courage – and the hard, often unpalatable reality about the suffering Church today.
