"A light for the persecuted Church” is the title of a Christmas fundraising drive launched by the Italian secretariat of the international organization Aid to the Church in Need.
According to L’Osservatore Romano, “prayer and spiritual union with the persecuted Church are two fundamental elements that characterize the activity of ACN for the suffering Church these past 60 years. In just a few days, more than one thousand people have pledged for the drive.”
Donors are able to light a candle during Christmas as a way of expressing solidarity with the persecuted faithful.
