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 potato has eyes, but cannot see.
A stool has a leg, but not a knee.
A river can run, but does not walk.
A clock has a face, but does not talk.
A comb has teeth, but cannot chew.
A nail has a head, but no hairdo.
A guitar has a neck, but does not swallow,
A chair has an arm, but does not free throw.
A napkin likes food, but cannot eat.
A pitcher has a beak, but cannot tweet.
A shoe has a tongue, but cannot taste.
A pin has a head, but not a face.
You have two eyes, so you can see.
Can you read every one of these?
