Give a child a moment of peace

War has stolen so much from the children of Ukraine. Yet through your kindness, they can find moments of peace and comfort again. Every year, Aid to the Church in Need (ACN) works with local Priests and Sisters to welcome around 4,000 children to the Holidays with God retreats — gentle days of rest, prayer and healing far from the sound of shelling.

Your generosity offers a child the chance to breathe again.

“The sole opportunity for them to keep hope”

ACN’s Project Director, Marco Mencaglia, describes the impact with deep compassion:

“The chance to live some days of serenity in the company of Priests, animators and other young people, joyfully sharing the common Faith, is often the sole opportunity for them to keep hope and try to heal the wounds of their soul.”

Your kindness makes this possible.
