Pray for the Persecuted Church

Showing your solidarity in prayer is a wonderful way to support persecuted and suffering Christians around the world. It forges a real bond of Christian fellowship.

Why not gather together at your school or with friends, family and fellow parishioners to pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ?

You can request prayer cards from Aid to the Church in Need to help you in your prayers. We are happy to send these out to you free of charge.

Hold a Day of Prayer

Why not dedicate a day of prayer in your school, parish or prayer group to the needs of the suffering Church around the world?

Aid to the Church in Need can provide you with materials for the day – information about our work for the persecuted Church, prayer cards and posters.

You might like to pray for suffering Christians in general or to turn your focus to a specific country or area of Aid to the Church in Need’s work.

Please contact us with more details of your day of prayer and we can help you with your particular needs.

Don’t forget to add your day of prayer to the Aid to the Church in Need Events Calendar, too, so others will know about it and join in.

Join an Aid to the Church in Need Pilgrimage

Please join us for a day of prayer and reflection on Aid to the Church in Need’s annual pilgrimage to the English National Shrine to Our Lady in Walsingham.

Each year several hundred of our friends and supporters gather together for this special day of solidarity with persecuted and suffering Christians.

Details of Aid to the Church in Need’s 2010 Walsingham PIlgrimage will be announced soon on our Events Calendar.

 In 2010 we hope to develop an Aid to the Church in Need pilgrimage to Carfin Grotto, Scotland’s National Shrine to Our Blessed Lady.

Aid to the Church in Need is delighted to announce that we will be hosting two pilgrimages in 2010, in conjunction with Pax Travel. One pilgrimage will be to Santiago de Compostella in Spain while the other will be to the Holy Land.

All bookings and travel arrangements will be handled by Pax Travel – please visit www.paxtravel.co.uk to request a catalogue.

Please feel free to advertise details of all our pilgrimages in your parish newsletter. Details will be announced soon on our Events Calendar.
