- Use Continue To Give (tap orange button above) by choosing credit-card or bank-account (which takes less of a cut) and then choosing one-time or repeat.
- All these donations go to my charity organization (501c3) titled Peregrino Hermitage Limited.
- You can also donate to me using Zelle connected to my email, fathernix[@]gmail.com. (Obviously, drop the brackets.) The advantage of Zelle is that it takes no small “cut” from your donation like Continue to Give. (The disadvantage is that it goes straight to me as a personal gift, not my charity as a tax-deductible donation.) If it’s your first time donating on Zelle, please email me so I know it’s you!
- International Donations are best through Wise. Thank you and God reward you.
- You can donate by snail-mail. See the below snail-mail address in orange. (I’m sometimes a month-behind in cashing checks.) Checks go to my 501c3 tax-deductible charity if you put “Peregrino Hermitage Limited” on it, but it goes to me if you write “Fr. David Nix” on it.
Tax-Deductible checks can be made to:
Peregrino Hermitage Ltd.
PO Box 87
[Please email me at email address above for the rest of my snail-mail address.]
PLEASE DO NOT SEND PACKAGES, BOOKS OR GIFT-CARDS.
YOUR INFORMATION WILL NEVER BE SOLD OR GIVEN TO ANYONE. CHECKS (and return addresses) ARE SHREDDED AFTER DEPOSIT.
Miscellany:
- Peregrino Hermitage Limited has been recognized as a 501(c)(3) charity-organization for several years, but in 2025, the IRS granted us the additional “Church Status.” While my chapel, Stella Maris, continues to be recognized by the Archdiocese, this upgraded governmental-status means no more 990s. This means your donations are now much more private. Of course, we will continue to be transparent about how money is used at least before we start building the hermitage and chapel.
- Designs for the hermitage and chapel will be forthcoming.
- I receive health-insurance and dental-insurance from my Archdiocese, but all of my room and board, as well as ministry expenses, comes from you, my donors.
- I don’t take stipends or money for Mass intentions. However, you may email me prayer-requests and these will probably end up major Mass-intentions (with others that week.) Donors and non-donors alike may do this.
- Similarly, if you send prayer requests attached to donations, please understand I will not view it as a Mass stipend. All prayer requests (whether there’s a donation attached or not) usually become a major Mass intention. Just realize I usually have numerous intentions at each of my Masses.
- Feel free to send me a short email with a single theological question and/or prayer requests. I do not have time to open websites or attachments, even from donors (as I receive too many links to maintain a prayer life.)
- I do not reply to anonymous emails (because that’s just creepy.)
- Please allow up to a month for me to reply on email. Donors should have my cell, and I usually respond to texts within 24 hours.
- My main ministry is online-teaching. Search the channel “Padre Peregrino” on YouTube, Spotify or your favorite podcast app.
- I don’t do phone spiritual direction, but I will give mentorship a couple times a year to donors (on the phone, or in real life, if they ask) just to get them going in the right direction.
- I have an approved contemplative rule-of-life containing active apostolates.
- Some of these apostolates include distributing Miraculous Medals to those on the streets.
- I take the same salary as an American diocesan priest ($1700/mo. after taxes) but even that comes from Peregrino Hermitage Limited (PHL) not my diocese. PHL also covers all expenses like room and board, ministry and travel. This more-or-less reflects the expenses of an American priest or bishop in active ministry.
- Nearly everything I produce is ad-free.
- I don’t travel to bring the low-Mass, only the Solemn High Mass if you have two other priests available for deacon and sub-deacon.
- For sacramental emergencies, I can travel within 100 miles of my current location for baptism or confession or extreme unction. I never take money for any sacraments. If you want to donate for my teaching (not sacraments, which are always free) please do it here online.
- Most of the above donation methods automatically generate a donation tax receipt every year, such as Continue to Give. However, if you would like one for snail-mail checks (or anything else besides Zelle, which goes to me) please simply email me around January at the above email address and Peregrino Hermitage Limited will send you a donation-receipt for the previous year.
- See PHL’s Conflict of Interest Policy here.
- Your donations help me to continue my online teaching and street ministry as well as occasional sacramental travels. That is why I am extremely thankful for all donations you send. No Hollywood celebrities have ever given me money.
- Please keep in mind the main gift I give my donors is my teaching series. I especially offer you my audio and video versions of VLX and RCT (which is free also for non-donors.) Teaching Scripture (VLX) and Catechism (RCT) online is what I do, not long phone calls.
- See 1 Cor 1:17 and 1 Tim 5:17 to understand why some priests have had non-parish callings in life.
- I will continue praying Holy Mass and the Divine Office. I will be praying several hours a day for the restoration of the Catholic Church and the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
- I am able to keep my site and channels ad-free and without “premium” or “patreon” subscriptions because of donors like you.
- I hand out Miraculous Medals on chains to strangers on the streets. I hope to be something of an urban “monk-missionary” as I now have a habit in which I will pray and walk.
- I do pro-life work outside of abortion centers, and sometimes inside at the price of arrest. Search my name at LifeSite News to see several stories.
- In a time when Catholics are wary of corrupt CCHD “cuts” from their donations, know that all your gifts here go to this organization.
In Jesus and Mary,
Fr. David Nix
