We ask you, urgently: don't scroll past this

Dear readers, May 11–15 is Monthly Giving Week. Monthly recurring donors are vital to keeping our mission alive. After being de-platformed by Shopify for our pro-life beliefs, Catholic Online lost essential services supporting millions of families and now over 2.1 million students worldwide. Our founders, now in their 70’s, gave their entire life savings to protect this mission. But fewer than 2% of readers donate. A monthly gift of just $5 helps rebuild stronger and keep Catholic education free for all. Stand with us in faith. Thank you.
