Salve Big Pulpit readers,

My orthoscopic shoulder surgery has been a success thus far.  Right now my right arm will remain in a sling for an additional three weeks and the pain is endurable.

Thank you all that have donated to Little Vatican, the umbrella organization that operates Big Pulpit.  I am well short of our target of $2,000 per month of subscribers.  I only need 400 of our readers to subscribe for $5 per month in order to meet this goal.  One-time donations are also accepted and appreciated!

Thank you for being faithful and loyal readers of Big Pulpit!

In Jesus, Mary, & Joseph,

Tito Edwards
Editor of Big Pulpit

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
