Aid to the Church in Need (ACN Canada) will hold its 8th annual Red Wednesday on November 16. Across the world, 327 million Christians live in a country where there is persecution at various degrees. Because of their faith, they endure discrimination, scorn, arrest, incarceration, torture, and sometimes even death. It is estimated that 75 % of acts of violence for religious reasons are perpetrated against Christians, making them the most persecuted group. We invite all staff and students to unite themselves with the persecuted by praying a decade of the rosary on Wednesday, November 16. Lord, we pray that every being, regardless of their religion, live in peace and harmony without any kind of persecution.
