Little girl looking 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. Help Now >

Image of St. Lawrence Huong Van Nguyen The persecution of Catholics under the Vietnamese emperor Tu Duc was renewed in an 1855 decree, which ordered the beheading of all missionaries. It declared, “All churches, chapels, and seminaries must be burned down…By all means, this religion must be put to an end.” The Vietnamese parish priest Father Lawrence Huong Van Nguyen, from Ke Sai, was arrested while visiting several paralyzed invalids. He was subsequently beheaded.
