Red Week has been filling churches, monuments, and hearts around the world with light and prayer since 2015.
It was created to raise awareness about persecuted Christians—those who risk their lives today for loving and proclaiming Christ.
But it is also a celebration of faith and hope: of those who, in the midst of pain, continue to build peace, forgive, and serve.
Your help sustains their faith.
Your love keeps them standing.
In places where believing can cost you your life, men, women, and children continue to pray, serve, and love.
With your donation, you help them rebuild churches, support communities, and train priests and nuns who accompany the persecuted.
Every dollar donated multiplies: your generosity becomes living hope.

One color. One Church.
Every November, monuments such as the Colosseum in Rome, the Sacré-Cœur in Paris, Christ the Redeemer in Rio, and the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona are illuminated in red.
This color not only recalls the blood of the martyrs; it also symbolizes hope that never dies.
This year, more than 5.4 billion people live in countries where they cannot freely practice their faith.
You can change that reality: get informed, pray, take action.
