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.

Gumbert, the brother of the archbishop of Reims, France, (Saint) Nivard, was married to a woman named (Saint) Bertha. As he and his wife were childless, Gumbert decided to donate all his property to the Church and to found with his donations two monasteries. The couple mutually agreed to separate so that Bertha could enter a convent at Avesnes, while Gumbert journeyed to Ireland to become a monk. When a band of pirates stormed the grounds of Gumbert's monastery, Gumbert came out to beg them to respect the monks' property. They responded by slaying him. His body was returned to France and buried in Avesnes.
