Syria Emergency Appeal
ACN is making an urgent appeal for prayer and support for the Christian community and all residents of Aleppo, Syria, who are facing a worsening humanitarian crisis.
The team at ACN Ireland invite all visitors to listen to Celtic Thunder singing ‘Christmas 1915’. Having listened to this very poignant song, please, during this Christmas season, say daily a prayer for peace. Thank you and may you and your loved ones have a blessed and holy Christmas and may Christian hope be yours in abundance throughout the Jubilee Year of Hope.

As a Catholic Charity, we support the Faithful wherever they are Persecuted, Oppressed or in Need.
Lebanon Emergency Appeal
Aid to the Church in Need (ACN) has launched an emergency campaign to raise at least 1 million euros to support the Church in Lebanon as it navigates this unprecedented crisis. With the country already crippled by political instability, economic collapse, and the aftermath of the Beirut Port explosion, the recent Israeli airstrikes and ground assaults have intensified the suffering, especially for the Christian community in southern Lebanon.
Week Of Witness | Red Wednesday 2024
This year, the ACN Ireland Week of Witness will be held between Sunday the 17th and Sunday the 24th of November. Red Wednesday is on the 20th of November. The Week of Witness is an invitation to Christians across the island of Ireland to stand in solidarity with and bear witness to the heroic example of our persecuted brothers and sisters in Faith across the world.

Ireland’s Mass Rocks
There is perhaps no tradition as unique to the Irish Catholic Church as Mass Rocks. Aid to the Church in Need Ireland has organised for a Holy Mass to be celebrated on a Mass Rock in each of Ireland’s 26 dioceses in the lead-up to the Feast of the Irish Martyrs on 20 June. These Holy Masses were offered for the renewal of the Faith in Ireland through the intercession of the Irish Martyrs.
