Aid to the Church in Need receives 2019 Path to Peace Award
Aid to the Church in Need (ACN) has been awarded the 2019 Path to Peace Award by the Permanent Observer Mission of the Holy See to the United Nations in recognition of the Foundation’s bridge of love built through the generosity of its benefactors and the suffering and persecuted Church.
The award was presented by the Permanent Observer of the Holy See to the United Nations, Archbishop Bernardito Auza, to ACN’s International Executive President, Dr. Thomas Heine-Geldern at the Path to Peace Foundation’s annual award gala in New York.
Archbishop Auza praised ACN as “the leading organization in the world tangibly helping Christians suffering persecution in various countries and, even more importantly, responding with action.”
Accepting the award, Dr.Heine-Geldern, said that this honour belongs to “those Christians who, just because of their faith, are persecuted, oppressed, discriminated or silenced”.
“Standing with the faithful on the frontlines, confronting persecution, hate and violence, are courageous men and women -bishops, priests, women religious and lay volunteers. These ultimate servants of peace do not abandon persecuted Christians but remain with their people, sometimes even risking death. I also dedicate the 2019 Path to Peace Award to them”, he added.
