This year St Joan of Arc raised over £500 to support Aid to the Church in Need, a charity which offers support to people around the world who wish to practice their faith but are persecuted for doing so. It is outrageous that in the 21st century a person can experience such treatment but unfortunately it is still going on. Sometimes it is easy to forget or take for granted the freedom to practice our faith that we have in this country and so we do not always recognise the privilege we have. This is why, on this day we showed we do support freedom to faith, by ‘Wearing It Red’. We hope that one day all will have the right to practice their faith without fear. Until this day comes we will continue to raise awareness and say prayers on behalf of those who cannot. And hope that all who are being persecuted remember ”We are persecuted but not abandoned, we are struck down but not destroyed” Corinthians 2 4:9. Love Christ inspire others
