From ACN Canada<\/a><\/p>\n\n

This will be the four year that the event is being marked in Canada.  New players have joined the list of participants who will stand in solidarity with persecuted Christians around the world, including the largest Marian shrine in Canada, Our Lady of the Cape Shrine, in Trois-Rivi\u00e8res, who will illuminate the Basilica in red. More regularly updated information is available on the Red Wednesday homepage: acn-canada.org\/red-wednesday\/. <\/a>
\n
\nIn person and on Salt + Light Television<\/strong>
\n
\n\u201cAfter One Million Children Praying the Rosary for World Peace, the next activity serves to inform, raise awareness and show solidarity among Christians here in Canada, with their sisters and brothers in the faith suffering from anti-Christian persecution,\u201d explains Marie-Claude Lalonde, director of ACN Canada.  
\n
\nThis year, Catholic station Salt + Light Television will provide a live broadcast of the special Mass from the Mary Queen of the World in Montreal Cathedral at 7:30 p.m<\/strong><\/em>. A prayer vigil from St. Michael\u2019s Cathedral in Toronto will then follow at 9 p.m. \u201cBetween the Mass and the Vigil, viewers will have the opportunity to watch a documentary produced by ACN,\u201d says Lalonde. 
\n
\n\u201cOther partners are also involved in the event,\u201d she says. For example, Radio VM will broadcast the Mass the day after the event, on Thursday, November 18 at 7 p.m., on its entire network. \u201cThe Ch\u0153ur des anges  (Choir of Angels) will accompany the Mass in Montreal with the liturgical songs with the African sound they are known for,\u201d she explains. \u201cGiven the rise of Islamist extremism in many African countries, we thought we would imbue with the Mass their music,\u201d explains Lalonde. 
\n
\nJoin a Pan-Canadian and international event!  <\/strong>
\n
\n\u2018In addition, there will be building illuminations and activities organized by partners, some of whom have already confirmed their participation,\u2019 she explains. In Thetford-Mines, Robert Lebel, who has supported Red Wednesday since its first year, is participating in the event by organizing an evening of worship and illuminating part of the ecumenical pavilion at Versant-la-No\u00ebl, beginning at 7 p.m. 
\nAmong new participants is the sanctuary of Notre-Dame du Cap in Trois-Rivi\u00e8res. \u201cIt makes me particularly happy to see that year after year, new participants join Red Wednesday. Thank you for this gesture of solidarity,\u201d says Mrs. Lalonde who also believes there are no small activities. \u201cThe important thing is to participate. Let us know, tell us what you are planning to do!\u201d invites Mrs. Lalonde. \u201cWe are happy to advertise your own Red Wednesday activity on our homepage.\u201d
