Salve friends, Catholics, my brothers and sisters in Christ,
Big Pulpit, along with Catholic Stand, The American Catholic, and the rest of the Little Vatican websites, cannot survive without your prayers and donations.
We have over 8,000 unique visitors each day, if only 600 of you would make a $5 recurring monthly donation, we will reach our goal of $3,000 of recurring monthly donations. Currently we stand at $1,355 of recurring monthly donations, (not including the one-time donations of $811.17), we are almost half-way there! We just need $1,645 more recurring monthly donations or 329 more of our viewers to donate just $5 per month!
So if you are willing, pray and donate now! If you wish to donate more, that’s great!
