Little girl looking 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.

A titular see of Lower Egypt (Ptolemy, IV, v, 12), not far from Pelusium, and near the sandhills known by Greek geographers as Kasion Oros, today El-Katieh, or El-Kas. There was at Casium a temple of Zeus Kasios, the Aramean god Qasiou, and Pompey, who had been murdered near the place, was buried there. The town is mentioned in Georgius Cyprius (ed. Gelzer, 694), Hierocles' "Synecdemos" (727, 2), and Parthey's "Notitia Prima", about 840, as a bishopric depending on Pelusium in Augustamnica Prima. Only one bishop is known, Lampetius, present at Ephesus in 431. He was sent by St. Cyril, with Hermogenes, Bishop of Rhinocorua, to Rome, where both were present at the consecration of Pope Sixtus III. Many letters of St. Isidore of Pelusium are addressed to him ( Lequien, II, 545).
