(LifeSiteNews) — Dear friends,
I’m going to be blunt.
We have 24 hours left of this campaign, and we are still 38 percent away from the target. If you want to see LifeSiteNews’ truth-focused and faith-driven reporting continue, we need your help NOW.
Will you help us get over the line today?
Newly released Vatican data shows that the Church in France has lost 68 percent of its priests – and 72 percent of parishes have closed.
Meanwhile the Patriarch of Venice, Italy – who occupies an office once held by Pope St. Pius X – has supported the building of a mosque in the historic city. And the Vatican has thrown itself behind the modern notion of “hate speech” – which is always used against Catholics.
The wheels are falling off.
In the face of this universal explosion of apostasy, LifeSiteNews is one of the few remaining voices standing for life, faith, family, and freedom.
But if we don’t hit the target for this fall campaign, we will not be able to maintain our current operations for the next quarter.
What will that mean?
- Our investigative Catholic coverage and analysis shrinks at the very moment the Church needs it most – when so many of our former allies have fled from the battlefield.
- One of the last faithful voices crying out in the wilderness may be stifled – or even silenced.
We are at a critical moment. If we do not reach our target by the end of the day, I am going to have to think carefully about what aspects of our work to cut.
We are in a 24-HR RED ALERT for LifeSiteNews and the freedom of the Church.
If you believe that true freedom matters – and want to help LifeSiteNews continue reporting on current events from a truly Catholic perspective – please act now.
Donations of $50 and $100 and $250 and $500 are the foundation of our work. They will make sure we raise what we need for the next quarter.
But when we are facing a descent into global war, globalist tyranny, and apostasy from the faith, we need to do more – and to do it faster.
Gifts of $1,000 and $2,500 and $5,000 and $10,000 will help us to reach our target – or even exceed it – and make LifeSiteNews an unstoppable force in this world.
Every gift you give – no matter how big or small – is absolutely crucial to our defense of life, faith, family, and freedom.
As I said, I have to be blunt. We need your support today.
Thank you for your incredible generosity.
Yours in the Sacred Heart of Christ the King,
John-Henry Westen

PPS: I am very concerned at how far behind we still are in this campaign. That’s why we need to reach the target tonight.
LifeSiteNews is of the few organization left which is fighting for you and your families.
But if LifeSiteNews does not meet this fall target, then I’m afraid we will need to tighten our operations.
If we do not continue our work at full capacity, our ability to defend the faith of your children or grandchildren will shrivel and shrink. We are determined to keep fighting for God and his Church.
If you share this determination, and want to see LifeSiteNews continue its historic mission, then please give today, before 24 hours are up:
