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.

(PITNISUS)
A titular see in Galatia Secunda (Salutaris). This city is mentioned by Strabo, XII, 567; Ptolemy, V, 4, 10; Hierocles, "Synecdemus", 697, 7, and Stephanus Byzantius, s.v. According to the first of these authors it was situated in the salt desert, to the west of Lake Tatta (at the present time Touz Gueul), between Lycaonia and Haimama. The "Notitiæ episcopatuum" mention it among the suffragan sees of Pessinus, created by Theodosius between 386 and 395, and existing as late as the thirteenth century. There is a record of but one bishop, Pius, resent at the Council of Chalcedon , 451 ( Le Quien, "Oriens christianus" I, 493). The exact name and position of the city, which differs greatly according to various documents, is not known. Ramsay ( Asia Minor, 227), mentions the place as near the site of Piri Begli or a little to the east of it.
