Christmas is almost upon us; soon we will celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. We will exchange presents, but Christ has already given us the greatest gift anyone can possibly give us - salvation through His Incarnation and His continuing presence in the Eucharist and His One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church.

And we can only access these gifts thanks to the priesthood! Truly, the priesthood is the vital - without it, we would have no Eucharist, no Confession, no Mass. No Church!

To help you say "thank you" to priests, seminarians, deacons, and members of religious communities, RealCatholicTV.com has created the Christmas Charity Subscription program! It is very simple indeed. Do one, or both, of the following things;

• Send us an email to suggest a priest, seminarian, deacon or member of a Catholic religious community who you think would really love to get a year's Premium subscription to RealCatholicTV.com. We'll add them to a list. You can suggest as many people as you like - why not suggest a retired priest you know, or a poor religious community?

• Make a payment of $60 to RealCatholicTV.com to pay for a year's subscription to RealCatholicTV.com for a random person chosen from the list of suggestions. This is half the usual price, so it is a wonderful deal! Buy a random priest, deacon, seminarian, brother, sister, monk or nun access to our wonderful programming for year!

This offer is going to continue until Christmas Eve. And then we will randomly assign the gifts, and send out the subscriptions to the wonderful men and women who serve the Church!

To get started with this program, use the links below. For frequently asked questions, see below that.

Happy Christmas, and God bless! A Savior is born of David's Line!

Frequently Asked Questions

“This is called 'charity' – does this count as a tax-deductible donation?”

It does not, because RealCatholicTV.com is not a non-profit company.

“Can I buy a specific priest a gift?”

Yes, but not with this program. This is about random acts of generosity, giving to someone you don't know. If you want to buy someone specific a gift, use this webpage.

“Will the priest know who I am?”

We will tell the priest or deacon etc. your name and any other information you might like us to tell him, and we will ask him to pray for you, offer Masses etc. If you don't want us to give him your name and you wish to be completely anonymous, just tell us in your email!

“Can I suggest more than one priest?”

Of course!

“What happens if a person is suggested more than once?”

Each person only goes on the list once – so suggesting several times does not increase the chances of them getting a subscription.

“Can I buy more than one subscription?”

Certainly – you can buy as many as you like?

“What happens if you have more suggestions than purchased subscriptions?”

Then, sadly, some people will not be receiving gift subscriptions.

“What happens if you have more purchases than subscriptions?”

We will select other priests, deacons etc. to receive these gifts. Every single purchase via this program will mean a priest, deacon etc. gets a subscription for a year. We promise.

“Who can I suggest?”

The person being suggested must be a priest (including bishop etc.), deacon, seminarian or member of a religious community. The person must be a member of the Roman Catholic Church. Other than that, you can suggest anyone you like.

“Can I suggest a religious community as a whole, rather than a single person?”

Of course. Just make sure we have an email address to send the details of the subscription to.

“What do I do if I have questions?”

Just email us or call 248-545-5716
