Top six things to do in 2016 (to serve the persecuted Church)!!!

 The most important thing for the persecuted Church is that people are aware of their suffering and get active

Please have a look at our suggestions – but you can of course use your own brilliant ideas and creativity to make more people aware of the suffering Church. 

 If you have any other ideas, let me know.

So here we go:

#1 Become active on social media – Our Facebook page and Twitter is regularly updated with all the latest news, articles and pictures. Please visit and Like/Follow us to stay up to date – then share the news on your own page. Make sure you use the power of social networking to raise awareness to your friends.

#2 Contact your MSP – Find out who your local MSP is, go to meet them at their office with some friends and find out what they know about the persecuted Church. Share your views with them and encourage them to be a pro-religious freedom MSP! They are there to represent you, so tell them how you want them to do this. For more info on how to go about this, contact me.

#3 Start or join a group at your school or university - Schools and universities are a great place to spread the word and it is vital that young people hear this message. For help setting up or building an existing group, please contact me.

#4 Hold an ACN event at your church – Speak to your parish priest about organising a talk at your local parish & invite everyone who attends Mass there and those from neighbouring parishes to help or participate. At this event, ask the Parish Priest if he would allow for one of our excellent speakers to come and give a talk.  If you would like help arranging this, please email me.  

#5 Hold a fundraising event to support Aid to the Church in Need – Cake sales, coffee mornings and car boot sales are great ways to raise some money for one of the 5,500 projects we support each year. I would be happy to discuss your fundraising ideas.

#6 Keep in touch – Twitter (@ACN_Scotland), Facebook (ACN Scotland) or Phone me (01698 337 472)

If one person in every parish in Scotland was to take up one of these ideas, this would have a hugely positive impact on the work of ACN in Scotland. 

Never underestimate the power you have to make a real difference,.
