We ask you, urgently: don't scroll past this

Dear readers, Catholic Online was de-platformed by Shopify for our pro-life beliefs. They shut down our Catholic Online, Catholic Online School, Prayer Candles, and Catholic Online Learning Resources essential faith tools serving over 1.4 million students and millions of families worldwide. Our founders, now in their 70's, just gave their entire life savings to protect this mission. But fewer than 2% of readers donate. If everyone gave just $5, the cost of a coffee, we could rebuild stronger and keep Catholic education free for all. Stand with us in faith. Thank you.

Image of St. Adauctus

Martyr. Adauctus and his daughter, Callisthene, were caught up in the persecutions of co-Emperor Maximinus Daia (r. 310-313). The Caesar or junior emperor of Syria and Egypt and a pagan who opposed the Church, Maximus Dala was halted in his persecutions by Constantine's Edict of Milan in 312. A year later he was forced to poison himself. During the persecutions, Adauctus was executed in Ephesus. His daughter, Callisthene, was not martyred, and spent the rest of her life doing works of mercy.
