Note:
Salve loyal viewers of Big Pulpit and our other Little Vatican apostolates!

I cannot stress enough how much we need your donations. If you have been a faithful viewer with means, consider praying and make a recurring donation of $10, $20, or even $50 a month or more. Click on following link to make your donation: https://raisedonors.com/littlevatican/give-a-gift

Last week we had a total of $1216.17, of which $600 is recurring monthly.

Today I am happy to announce that The American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family, and Property is our newest sponsor!

Adding them and other new recurring donations this week, Little Vatican currently stands at $2,356.17, of which $1,340.00* is recurring monthly! So we are just $1660.00 away of reaching our goal of $3,000 recurring donations!

There are four other potential sponsors that I am currently at various stages of discussions and/or negotiations. I am asking our loyal viewers to pray for a beneficial and successful outcome from these potential sponsors to help sustain Little Vatican.

Thank you and God bless you all!
