Little girl looking Dear readers, Catholic Online was de-platformed by Shopify for our pro-life beliefs. They shut down our Catholic Online, Catholic Online School, Prayer Candles, and Catholic Online Learning Resources essential faith tools serving over 1.4 million students and millions of families worldwide. Our founders, now in their 70's, just gave their entire life savings to protect this mission. But fewer than 2% of readers donate. If everyone gave just $5, the cost of a coffee, we could rebuild stronger and keep Catholic education free for all. Stand with us in faith. Thank you. Help Now >

24 Hour Vigil for Terri

Free World Class Education
FREE Catholic Classes

Terri Schindler-Schiavo is scheduled to have her feeding tube removed on October 15th at 2 P.M.

Terri, age 39, is disabled. She is not in a coma, not in a persistent vegetative state. She is aware of her surroundings and has communicated that she does not want to be starved to death.

On Monday, October 13th, 12 noon, family and friends begin a 24-hour vigil on her behalf at Hospice Woodside where Terri resides, 6774 102nd Ave. N. (off 66th Street), Pinellas Park, Florida.

Please come to the Hospice anytime day or night to call on Governor Jeb Bush to use his executive power to intervene to save Terri's life, as we will be doing.

If you can only come for a brief time, please do your best to attend the press conferences at -
12 noon on Monday
12 noon on Tuesday
2 PM on Wednesday

If you are in the Tallahassee area and can attend a vigil at the Governor's mansion, please contact us immediately.

The Schindlers have invited Randall Terry, founder of Operation Rescue, and Gary McCullough of Christian Communication Network to organize these vigils and to help preserve Terri's life.

Mr. Terry says "It is inconceivable that a Florida judge has ordered an innocent woman to be starved to death. We all need to do everything in our power to rescue Terri from this cruel death."

Robert Schindler, Terri's father, has written a letter to the Holy Father asking for his prayers and intervention on Terri's behalf. The letter is being carried to the Vatican by a young polish priest who is invited to the pope's anniversary Mass on October 16th.

There is no better way for stateside Catholics to celebrate the Holy Father's twenty-fifth anniversary then by proclaiming the Gospel of Life in a public plea to spare the life of our sister, Theresa Schindler Schiavo. www.terrisfight.org and www.catholicmediacoalition.com
