We ask you, urgently: don't scroll past this
Dear readers, Catholic Online was de-platformed by Shopify for our pro-life beliefs. They shut down our Catholic Online, Catholic Online School, Prayer Candles, and Catholic Online Learning Resources essential faith tools serving over 1.4 million students and millions of families worldwide. Our founders, now in their 70's, just gave their entire life savings to protect this mission. But fewer than 2% of readers donate. If everyone gave just $5, the cost of a coffee, we could rebuild stronger and keep Catholic education free for all. Stand with us in faith. Thank you.Help Now >

Reflecting on our history, the 1960s marked an era where the U.S. boasted 13,000 Catholic schools. Fast forward to 2024, and this number has sadly dwindled to just 5,920. This significant decline raises a crucial question: What has led to this reduction in Catholic educational institutions?
Many factors contribute to this trend, including demographic shifts, financial challenges, and changing societal landscapes. As traditional brick-and-mortar Catholic schools face these obstacles, the need for innovative, accessible education becomes more apparent than ever. This is where Catholic Online School steps into the spotlight.
With over 1.2 million students globally, our mission at Catholic Online School is to provide a free, world-class Catholic education to anyone, anywhere. Our commitment goes beyond the constraints of physical classrooms, reaching into homes and communities regardless of geographical and financial barriers.
In an era where traditional Catholic education faces unprecedented challenges, Catholic Online School stands as a beacon of hope and progress. We offer a comprehensive curriculum grounded in faith, excellence, and values, ranging from Scripture studies to moral education, mathematics, and science.
Your support is pivotal in this journey. As we strive to fill the gap left by the decline of traditional Catholic schools, every contribution you make furthers our mission to educate, enlighten, and empower.
Consider the impact of your gift:
$50 can provide educational resources for 10 students.
$100 can support the creation of new, interactive courses.
$500 can help enhance our digital platform, making education more accessible and engaging.
Your donation is not just financial support; it's a stand for the importance of Catholic education in today's world. It's a testament to your belief in a future where quality education is a right, not a privilege.

We thank you for considering this urgent appeal. Your support is invaluable to us and the millions of students who benefit from our mission. Together, let's turn the tide and reignite the flame of Catholic education in these changing times.
