Salve friends, Catholics, my brothers and sisters in Christi!

After a respectable two days, the last four days have paled in comparison in monthly donations.

If you enjoy Big Pulpit, Catholic Stand, The American Catholic, Ignitum Today, and the other platforms that operate under the banner of Little Vatican, consider making a monthly donation. Especially of you have the means.

For to every one who has will more be given, and he will have abundance;
— Holy Gospel of Saint Matthew :25:29

Many of the services Little Vatican uses have increased their rates. Other services that were once free, now have a price. We at Little Vatican have had to make many cuts to some of our expenditures that our writers have had to forgo. And our writers are all volunteers!

Any donation would be appreciated! Consider a $10, or $20, or $50, or even a $100 monthly gift to Little Vatican!

Click here to make your donation now!

Director-General of Little Vatican
