Aid to the Church in Need's Lenten Campaign: Burkina Faso

Catholics praying during the Our Father in Burkina Faso.

Aid to the Church in Need continues its Lenten Campaign, this time with a focus on the plight of the faithful in Burkina Faso.

In Burkina Faso, Christians are increasingly victims of targeted attacks by Islamic extremists.

In this video, a catechist in the country speaks to ACN about an attack that took place during the celebration of Mass.

Despite the threats and violence, Christians remain unwavering in their commitment to Christ.


Christians are being persecuted today in Burkina Faso, Help them survive, and keep them in your prayers.
