The U2charist Rock Mass is an Anglican Communion service that features the music of the band U2. The service is designed to raise awareness of the UN's Millennium Development Goals (MDG's) and urges us to take action to end extreme poverty in our time by supporting charities that are in alignment with the MDG's such as www.christmasfuture.org or the National Anglican World Relief Fund - www.pwrdf.org

Led by the Global MDG ambassador, Bono, the UN is calling people worldwide in their local settings to do what they can to help make these 8 goals a reality for all God's people.
