Why do we ask you to donate to Little Vatican?

Because we at Little Vatican want to help others get to Heaven, that is our ultimate goal!

We strive to offer good Catholic content that helps form and inform our readers to better live the Gospel in a world that has forgotten Charity. We want to proclaim the truths of the Faith and the path that leads to life in this big beautiful mess we call the Catholic Church.

Big Pulpit combs the internet for the best possible content for Catholics. Content that is faithful to the magisterial teachings of the Church which helps to form and inform our readers.

Catholic Stand columnists write up professional and thoughtful posts articulating articles of faith for Catholics living in the World.

The American Catholic pundits write concise and striking posts that bring light to a dark political climate that is starving for the Truth.

Big Pulpit, Catholic Stand, and The American Catholic are part of the Little Vatican family that wants our readers to be armed with powerful content to better understand their neighbors, friends, and strangers they encounter. To defend and profess the teachings of Jesus so as to bring others closer to Christ.

In short, we want to convert the world to our beautiful Catholic faith! All we need are 309 of our readers to make a recurring monthly donation of $5-a-month. Or, if 3702 of our readers can make a one time donation of $5, we can reach our goal for the year!

Currently, we have reached $1,457 monthly recurring donations and have $1,543 more monthly recurring donations to go. (If we go by one-time donations, we need $18,516 more).

Of course, we take all donation sizes, so if you are capable and want to donate more, don’t hesitate to do so!

Please make a prayerful recurring donation now at the following link:
