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.

Valentine's Day: How to avoid those 'love blunders'

Image of ROSES ARE RED – Roses are a traditional gift indicating love and romance any day of the year but particularly on Valentine's Day. The late medieval custom of exchanging love notes on St. Valentine's Day has little to do with saints and is thought to have developed from the belief that the day marked the start of the mating season of birds. Author Mary Carty says woe to those who fail to make the time observe Valentine’s Day as a special opportunity to show one’s spouse a token of love. (www.freedigitalphotos.net)

The custom of showing affection and attention to loved ones on Valentine's Day, Feb. 14, has become part of the fabric of our culture. ... continue reading
