How Your Gifts Were Used
1,836,591 Mass stipends: In 2024, we were able to help one priest in every 10 by passing on your Mass offerings to them. More than 1.8 million Mass stipends were sent to 42,252 priests— the highest number ACN has supported in its history. On average, every 17 seconds Mass was celebrated for the intentions of one of our benefactors somewhere in the world. 867 projects supporting religious sisters: We helped some 6,030 religious sisters, providing basic support for their life and ministry. We also helped with the formation of novices; essential structural work for convents; vital equipment (such as sewing machines, unleavened-bread baking machines, vehicles, etc.); and spiritual retreats and exercises. The greatest number of projects were for Africa (298) and Asia (282). 9,961 seminarians supported: In 2024, one in every 11 seminarians around the world received assistance from ACN for their priestly formation. The majority were in Africa (5,305)—which has almost one third of all seminarians in the world—and we also helped 1,824 in Latin America, 1,752 in Asia and 1,080 in Europe, including over 700 seminarians in Ukraine. 805 projects for the training of catechists and other committed lay pastoral workers: We also responded positively to 106 requests for Bibles and other religious publications so that, thanks to your help, some 844,200 religious books were sent out, the majority in Latin America. 755 construction projects: Once again in 2024, we helped build and renovate churches, chapels, convents, seminaries, presbyteries and pastoral centers. Given the high cost of such projects, this category accounted for 23.6%—the biggest percentage of our total allocated aid. 1,141 vehicles for pastoral work: We helped provide a total of 474 cars, 264 motorcycles, 388 bicycles, three buses, one truck and 11 boats for pastoral work in remote and inaccessible regions. All together, we supported 5,335 projects in 2024 in 137 countries.
