Stonyhurst is fundraising for Aid to the Church in Need.

Standing up for faith and freedom is, one could almost say, part of Stonyhurst's DNA, and this week we are joining with many thousands of others around the world to mark Red Wednesday. This global initiative seeks to break the silence on religious persecution.

Here at Stonyhurst we will raise awareness, pray and donate to support those who are suffering on account of their faith today. To show our solidarity, the College will be lit in red and Wednesday will also be a home clothes day for all pupils, who are invited to wear red and asked to contribute £2 to our collection for Aid to the Church in Need, which will benefit from matched funding for all donations this month as they strive to raise £500K4HOPE.
