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?

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The fundamental choice between doubt and faith is addressed in original songs (penned by Mette) like "Know Love Serve" and "This is Our Lamb", while "Always What I Need" and "Prepare Me" point to a reliance on God's providence. With an energy and style that cuts through the apathy of a "Guitar Hero" generation, Michael's timeless message finds a comfortable niche for the youth of the Church. Other songs covered on the album include new twists on classic praise and worship songs like "Open the Eyes of My Heart", and "Lord I Lift your Name on High". There is also a driving, power praise & worship version of "Where the Streets Have No Name" (Listen) made popular by mainstream artist-U2, and an original sing-a-long sure to be embraced by youth groups everywhere titled "I've Got the Joy". "Always What I Need" is a collection of 10 songs sure to inspire this young generation and will clearly become an effective resource tool for youth leaders.
