This year’s Red Wednesday, a church event to support Christians persecuted for their faith around the world, will be held on November 24.
The Aid to the Church in Need Philippines said the day’s theme is “Red without fear: A Church journeying as one”.
For 2021, however, ACN Philippines executive director Msgr. Pedro Santos, said that they will be weaving together two of the recent events in the local and universal church: the 500 Years of Christianity in the Philippines and the preparation towards the Synod of Bishops in 2023. “May the sacrifice of our martyred brethren and love of Jesus Christ live on in our country beyond 500 years of outstanding faith,” he said.
The Red Wednesday Mass and the lighting rite at the Pasig Cathedral will be livestreamed through ACN’s Facebook page and its partners.
