As 2025 draws to a close, the Church remains where she has always been—standing as a light in the darkness, proclaiming Christ to a world that desperately needs hope.
But this year has not been easy.
Across the globe, Catholics have watched faith be sidelined, truth challenged, and Christian voices silenced or removed from public platforms. Families are searching for reliable Catholic teaching. Parents are struggling to pass on the faith. Students, catechumens, and homebound faithful are turning to the internet, often finding confusion instead of clarity.
For millions, Catholic Online has long been a lifeline for the faithful, and Catholic Online News is answering the growing need for Catholic voices in today’s news.
Every day, our mission is simple but urgent: to keep Catholic education, news, prayers, saints, and sacramental resources free and accessible to anyone, anywhere in the world.
An Urgent Message from Sister Sara – Please Watch
This year alone, Catholic Online School served millions of people in nearly every country—students preparing for sacraments, parents teaching at home, RCIA candidates, teachers, clergy, and faithful Catholics who have nowhere else to turn. For many, these resources are their only consistent connection to the Church.
And yet, providing this mission is not free.
Servers must stay online. Writers, editors, and educators must be supported. Technology must be maintained. And after repeated deplatforming and attacks on Catholic content, the need to remain independent has never been more critical.
This is why the final days of the year matter so much.
End-of-year gifts are not just about closing a budget gap; they are about protecting the Church’s digital presence for the year ahead. They ensure that when someone searches for truth, they find Christ, not distortion. That when a child wants to learn about the faith, the answer is faithful and sound. That when someone lights a virtual prayer candle in desperation or hope, the light does not go out.
As we approach the Feast of Mary, Mother of God on January 1, the Church reminds us that God chose to enter the world quietly, through faithfulness, trust, and sacrifice. Supporting this mission is a way to imitate that same faithful yes.
Your end-of-year, tax-deductible gift today helps ensure that Catholic Online School, Catholic Online, Catholic Online Learning Resources and our entire Catholic Mission Hub remain free in 2026 and beyond, for families, parishes, classrooms, and the forgotten faithful around the world.
If Catholic content has ever informed you, strengthened you, or helped you pray… now is the moment to give back.
The year is closing. The mission continues. And the light of Christ must not go dark online.
Please consider making an end-of-year gift today to help keep Catholic faith, truth, and education free for the world.
May God bless you for standing with the Church at this critical moment.
