Little girl looking 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.

Benedictine monk called “the Mailed” because of the iron coat of mail that he wore against his skin. Born in Umbria, Italy, in 995, he was ordained illegally when his father bribed the local bishop. Dominic decided to perform penance for the rest of his life. After a period as a hermit, about 1040 he became a Benedictine under St. Peter Damian at Fontavellana.
