UK Charity Boosts Church’s COVID Help in Bangladesh and Beyond

PPE for priests and religious reaching out to some of the poorest families in Bangladesh forms part of a raft of aid programs sent out this month by the UK arm of a leading Catholic charity.

Projects announced July 21 by the UK office of Catholic charity Aid to the Church in Need (ACN) include initiatives to help the Church respond to the COVID-19 pandemic – with support going to keep priests and religious in Bangladesh’s Barisal Diocese safe from coronavirus while ministering to a community badly hit by the crisis.

Bishop Lawrence Subrato Howlader of Barisal told ACN: “As soon as the pandemic started, the Barisal Catholic Diocese tried to stand by the people so that they could control the spread of coronavirus.”
