A note from the one who built it

Help keep the lamp lit

I built HolyStudy to put the riches of the Church — the Scriptures, the Fathers, the saints, the icons, and the daily cycle of worship — into the hands of anyone who wants to draw near, in a place that is quiet, unhurried, and beautiful.

It is free, and it has no ads. That is a choice I mean to keep. But servers, texts, and the work of building don’t cost nothing — so if it has been a blessing to you, I ask, humbly, for your help in sustaining it.

Where your gift goes

The honest cost of keeping HolyStudy free

Servers & hosting

Every chapter read, every icon loaded, every service prayed runs on servers that are paid for month after month.

Texts & translations

Scripture translations, patristic commentary, and the lectionary carry real licensing and translation costs.

Ongoing work

New saints, feasts, and features are added slowly and carefully — the labor of keeping the work alive and growing.

The offering

Two ways to give

Most sustaining

A little each month keeps the doors open

A steady monthly gift sustains the work best — far more than its size suggests. But a single, one-time gift is just as welcome. On Ko-fi you can choose either; however you’re moved to give, it takes only a moment.

“Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”
