Note: Well, Giving Tuesday moved many of you yesterday and brought us that much closer to our goals for 2024. But grateful as we are for that generosity, we can’t just stop now that Giving Tuesday is behind us. There will be much to do next year: between synodality and theological paradigm shifts; clashes between figures in Rome and our bishops; and the pressing need for religious education and vigorous evangelization. We intend to be in the midst of all those struggles. But we can be there only if you are as well. Please, act now. The challenges are growing and we must grow to meet them. Click the button. Play your part in our Catholic Thing. – Robert Royal
