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?

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The box, being called their "Window of Life," in Warsaw, Poland has just rescued their 18th child since its creation nearly 12 years ago. According to Catholic News Agency, the nuns in the convent are responsible for upkeep of the baby box, which was officially consecrated in 2008, and for looking out for arrivals.
According to the archdiocese of Warsaw, a note was found next to the baby girl stating she was born on August 24 at 3:00 am.
After finding the infant, they've named Zuzia, the nuns immediately called for an ambulance and the police and made sure to follow the established procedures for surrendered babies.
The baby girl was left clothed, clean and healthy.
