Aid to the Church in Need

Aid to the Church in Need (ACN) is an international Catholic charity, whose principal mission is to provide pastoral relief to the needy and oppressed Churches throughout the world. In 1984 the Vatican Congregation for the Clergy decreed that Aid to the Church in Need be recognised by the Catholic Church as a universal public association of faithful.

ACN provides a range of publications that can be useful to have on hand should a seafarer, fisher or AOS member be looking for an understanding of the Church. These publications include Bibles, catechisms, prayer books, as well as a Children's Bible of which they have distributed 43 million copies in over 150 languages.

Current publication include:

  • The Rosary (A6 booklet)
  • How to Pray the Rosary (A6 leaflet)
  • The Way of the Cross (A6 booklet)
  • God Speaks to His Children (96 page A5 book)
  • I Believe A little Catholic Catechism (208 page A5 Book)

 

 

   

 

Prayer for the Holy Father
Benedict XVI

Lord Jesus Christ,
on Mount Tabor St Peter saw your face shining like the sun. Enlighten, sustain and protect today his successor, our Holy Father Benedict XVI.

Make him a firm rock of your Church and an instrument of true peace among all the peoples of the earth. Amen
