News 2: Church Closures: A Call to Faith- In the Baltimore area, the archdiocese’s “Seek the City” plan merges 61 parishes into 30 sites, prompting emotional farewells for many long-time parishioners. St. Cecilia Catholic Church held its final Mass, with attendees expressing mixed emotions as they prepared to move on to new worship homes. Many voiced sadness at leaving behind a church that had become a family, especially those who had relied on its outreach programs.

News 3: Faith Under Fire: Persecution Worldwide- In Mauritania, Christianity faces severe restrictions, with converts from Islam enduring relentless hostility from both authorities and families. Apostasy is legally punishable by death, and baptisms must be conducted in secrecy. Converts risk expulsion, loss of livelihood, and persecution, often forcing them to flee their homes. Amid these challenges, the internet offers a faint glimmer of connection for believers.

News 4: Defying Oppression: Women’s Fight for Equality- In August, thousands of women in West Bengal joined ""Reclaim the Night"" protests after the brutal rape and murder of a trainee doctor. Meghamala Ghosh, 23, attended with her mother but faced harassment on their way home, gripping a kitchen knife for safety. The incident highlighted the relentless fears women endure in a nation plagued by rampant sexual violence.
