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 >

Prestige vs. Purpose: Where Should Your Donations Really Go?

Free World Class Education
FREE Catholic Classes

Notre Dame is a name that resonates with prestige, tradition, and excellence. For decades, alumni and donors have proudly supported the university's vision of providing world-class education, athletics, and research. However, in a world where every dollar counts, it's essential to pause and ask: where are these donations going, and what are they achieving? With a student enrollment of just 13,105 and an endowment of nearly $19 billion, one has to wonder, how much more does Notre Dame really need?

The University of Notre Dame is a private Catholic research university located in Notre Dame, Indiana, founded in 1842.
