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?

FREE Catholic Classes
A titular see of Egypt. About seven and one-half miles north of Sais (ruins at Ssa el-Haggar) stands a little village called Shabas-Sounkour, or Shabas as-Shoada. It has been rightly identified with the see that figures in a Coptic-Arabian episcopal list of the seventh century under the names Shabas-Sanhoul and Gabaseos-tivari-Khevasen. Ptolemy (IV, v, 48) calls it Kabasa, and says it is the capital of the fifth nomos (Kabasites). The city is also known by its coins. It is mentioned by Pliny (V, ix, 9), Georgius Cyprius (ed. Gelzer, 730), and Hierocles (724,5). Parthey (ed.), "Notitia Prima", about 840, gives it as the metropolis of Aegyptus Secunda. Two of its bishops are known: Theopemptus, present at Ephesus in 431 and 449, and Macarius, an opponent of Dioscorus at Chalcedon in 451.
