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 >

A potato has eyes, but cannot see.
A stool has a leg, but not a knee.
A river can run, but does not walk.
A clock has a face, but does not talk.
A comb has teeth, but cannot chew.
A nail has a head, but no hairdo.
A guitar has a neck, but does not swallow,
A chair has an arm, but does not free throw.
A napkin likes food, but cannot eat.
A pitcher has a beak, but cannot tweet.
A shoe has a tongue, but cannot taste.
A pin has a head, but not a face.
You have two eyes, so you can see.
Can you read every one of these?
