If everyone reading this gave just $5, our work would be funded.

Millions of people turn to Catholic Online for prayers, Daily Readings, saints, Catholic education and answers about their Faith. Most will never donate. But if Catholic Online has given you more than $5 worth of value this year, we're asking you to do something very simple: Give $5 today.

Your Catholic Voice Foundation also supports Catholic Online School, which has served 2.2 million student enrollments in 193 countries. We don't believe a family's ability to pay should determine whether a child can receive a Catholic education. If we've given you something of value, please give something back.

Upon being consecrated bishop of Cahors, Gaul (France), Florentius received a congratulatory letter from his friend, Saint Paulinus of Nola, who was later to become a bishop himself. Paulinus praises Florentius as a man of great humility and meekness, with the gentleness of a sheep and the innocence of a lamb, and imbued with “the sweetness of the Lord.” In reference to Florentius’ episcopal vocation, Paulinus observes that God had chosen him for “the role of his apostles” to “become a fisher of men,” who would “with the net of the saving word, draw from the bitter, deep waves of this world a haul which God can invest with life rather than destruction.”
