ACN Global

ACN Aid to the Church in Need is a Vatican foundation promoted by Pope Pius XII and founded in 1947 by Father Werenfried van Straaten (1913-2003) with the main objective of drying God's tears on Earth wherever He weeps.

Our mission is to provide aid to countries where the Church is in difficulties or emergency situations, whether due to religious persecution, wars, natural disasters or extreme poverty; help support and train priests and nuns throughout the world; build Churches in the places where they most need the Word of God and provide means of transportation for Evangelization.
