FRIDAY MORNING EDITION

Note: (Scroll down for the Friday Morning Edition)

Salve friends, Catholics, my brothers and sisters in Christ,

We have been posting editions and articles for Little Vatican, i.e., Big Pulpit, The American Catholic, Catholic Stand, et cetera, for roughly 20 consecutive years and it has been fun!

We do our best to utilize as many free or inexpensive online tools. Shortly after formalizing Little Vatican and gathering all of the websites under this banner, we began implementing advertising to pay for these tools. I’ve also solicited sponsors and donors behind the scenes and doing contract work to cover the growing costs of running Little Vatican.

Costs have skyrocketed these past four years and many of the free services have discontinued or have began charging. We need our viewers, readers, and visitors to all of our websites to pray and discern if they can donate to Little Vatican to help us with our expenses.

Please consider making a recurring monthly donation of $5, $7, $12, $15, or more!

Click on the following link to make your monthly recurring donation of $5 (or more): https://raisedonors.com/littlevatican/give-a-gift

Thank you and God bless you all!

Robert “Tito” Edwards
Director-General
