On Tuesday ACN united with CAFOD, Missio and Stella Maris online in praying the Joyful Mysteries of the Rosary. Each of our charities have our own mission, but we come together in prayer for God's Mission – to build The Kingdom of God.

As Pope Leo XIV reminded us in his first address: “Without fear, united hand in hand with God and among ourselves, let us move forward.”

ACN's Lay Chaplain Bridget Teasdale reflected on the First Joyful Mystery, the Annunciation, calling us to listen for God’s call with open hearts. Like Mary, may we answer with faith. And like those who have gone before us, may we walk forward without fear, bearing the light of Christ.

We are less than a week away from out Portraits of Courage photo exhibition in Motherwell, Scotland. A collection of powerful photos will provide a look into the world of the inspiring people and communities you help with your generosity

At the event, you will also have the– opportunity to speak to ACN staff about the impact of your donations., Handmade gifts from our project countries will also be available for purchase. Light refreshments will be provided.

Prospects and hope for the Papacy of Leo XIV will be taking place at the Medieval Crypt of St Etheldreda’s Church in Holborn, London at 6pm on the 20^th June.
