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.

Petronax, of Brescia, Italy, entered Rome's Benedictine monastery of the Lateran, a religious community founded over a century earlier by refugees of the Montecasino abbey after Montecassino had been destroyed by Lombard invaders in 580. In 718, Pope Saint Gregory II, a Benedictine himself, resolved to restore Montecassino by sending to the ruined abbey a contingent of the Lateran's monks, led by Petronax. Petronax presided over the rebuilding of the monastery and restored its reputation as a major center of piety and learning.
