October 13, 2020

On Sunday, at the Angelus, the Pope spoke about ACN’s prayer initiative that will take place on the 18th of October. “Next Sunday, the Aid to the Church in Need Foundation promotes the One Million Children Praying the Rosary campaign for unity and peace. I encourage this beautiful event that involves children throughout the world, who will pray especially for critical situations caused by the pandemic.”

ACN promotes the prayer of the Rosary through dozens of projects for Christian children around the world.
