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 >

Police are investigating the deaths of two Catholic nuns after they missed work. The pair were found together in a Mississippi home where they lived. Both worked as nurse practitioners at different locations.
Sister Paula Merrill was previously a nurse with the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth in Kentucky. Sister Margaret Held was a nurse with the Sisters of St. Francis School in Milwaukee.
Police say the par were killed in an apparent homicide. They do not believe a gun was involved; the pair were killed by other means.
There is no apparent motive.
We must pray for the repose of our sisters and that justice is served.
