We have one question for you.
Has Catholic Online given you $5 worth of value this year? Maybe you came here for a prayer. Maybe you read today's Mass readings. Maybe you researched a saint. Maybe you needed an answer about the Catholic Faith. Maybe your child used Catholic Online School. If the answer is no, you don't owe us anything. Keep using Catholic Online. But if the answer is yes, we're asking you to give $5 today.
Catholic Online School has served 2.2 million student enrollments in 193 countries, and we continue working to make Catholic education available regardless of a family's financial circumstances. We don't need every reader to give. We need the readers who recognize the value of what they've received to stand behind it. Is Catholic Online worth $5 to you?

Today is the last Sunday before Christmas! We light the fourth and final candle on our Advent wreath today. Are you excited for the coming of the Lord?
Christ's arrival means we will be rescued to enjoy eternal life with God. At Mass, we celebrate the Resurrection of Christ, and the new life He brings to all.
For reflection, let us consider if we are as excited for the celebration of Our Lord's birth as we are for the holiday that is to come.
Let us pray:
O King of all nations and keystone of the Church:come and save man, whom you formed from the dust!
