"This month, we stand together in remembering the 25th anniversary of the terrorist attacks of September 11th — a day the world will never forget, and one that calls us, as one family in Christ, to solemn remembrance and prayer for family, friends, loved ones, neighbors, and co-workers.On September 11th, ACNUSA’s chaplain, Msgr. Luke Sweeney, will offer a special Mass uniting our donors and their families in prayer, entrusting their intentions to God, along with all who continue to carry the weight of that day as though it were yesterday.Please know that we, too, lived that day alongside you — our office is in New York City, and at the time, in Lower Manhattan. We mourned as you mourned, feared for family and friends as you did, and held our donors close to our hearts, just as we do now.We share this moment with you, joined in prayer, one heart reaching toward heaven. May God’s grace and mercy rest upon those who were killed so violently 25 years ago, and may His comfort and strength continue to sustain those who love them still.In the words of Pope Saint John Paul II, September 12, 2001: “Faith comes to our aid at these times when words seem to fail. Christ’s word is the only one that can give a response to the questions which trouble our spirit. Even if the forces of darkness appear to prevail, those who believe in God know that evil and death do not have the final say.”"

"A little more than a month ago, the earth opened beneath Venezuela. But for thousands of families, the disaster did not end when the shaking stopped. Today, the death toll has climbed to 5,398, nearly 16,740 people have been injured, and tens of thousands remain missing. More than 23,000 people are still living in temporary camps, exposed to scorching heat by day and relentless rain by night. Can you help?"

"Religious sisters are vital to the Church. They teach children, give catechesis and care for the sick. For all they give, especially in a country with so much suffering, can we help them in their time of need?"

"Despite the uncertainty and hardship, many Christians in Lebanon express a strong desire to remain. Both young people and the elderly are determined to stay in their homes and on their land. But they need our help."
