Our Lady of the Annunciation in King’s Lynn lit up the church in red in solidarity with Christians and others who are suffering persecution. Stephen Farr reports.
This is the second year running that the parish has supported Aid to the Church in Need’s campaign to draw attention to the ongoing human rights tragedy of persecution. Parishes across the country similarly lit up their churches on November 25.
While we had hoped to do more this year towards Red Wednesday, the current lockdown restrictions prevented this. However, we were fortunate to have had the church open for an extra hour in the evening for private prayer and the exposition of the Blessed Sacrament.
A number of parishioners were in attendance throughout the hour, and all social distancing measures were strictly adhered to. This proved to be a very thought provoking and yet peaceful time spent with The Lord.
