Salve Big Pulpit readers,

I will be undergoing an orthopedic shoulder surgery today due to a childhood injury that got worse.  I request your prayers as I go through this moment.

In the meantime, I also want to remind everyone that Big Pulpit is part of the Little Vatican umbrella of apostolates.  Your donations would be appreciated.  We are in need of recurrent payments, and one-time payments are also welcomed!

Thank you for being loyal readers of this Catholic news aggregator!

In Jesus, Mary, & Joseph,

Tito Edwards
Editor of Big Pulpit
President of Little Vatican
