Little girl looking 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 >

Image of St. Abraham the Poor

A holy hermit, listed in some records as "the Poor" or "the Child," allusions to his purity of heart and to the simplicity of his lifestyle ways. He was born in Menuf "or Minuf", Egypt, a site northwest of Cairo in the Delta region of the Nile. He became a disciple of St. Pachomius, the founder of cenobitic monasticism. Abraham spent almost two decades in a cave near Pachomius' foundations in the Delta.
