CatholicNews to increase in price Dear Readers, Greetings of hope and peace! As the year comes to a close with the celebration of Our Lord’s Birth, let me take this opportunity to wish all of you, on behalf of the staff RI &DWKROLF1HZV D MR\ ¿OOHG Christmas and blessed New Year. I would also like to take this opportunity to inform you that rising costs in the production of our paper has made increasing the price
of CatholicNews inevitable. For the past 24 years, since 1990, the paper has been priced at 50 cents. It will cost 70 cents starting from January. Your parishes have already been informed and in almost all parishes in the archdiocese, CatholicNews is provided free of charge. I write with the hope that you will support whatever initiative your parish employs to defray the cost. Your continued support of the paper will help to ensure
that this particular ministry of the archdiocese will carry on. Together with the staff of CatholicNews, I thank you for your support of the paper over the decades, and look forward to serving you for many more years. „ God’s blessings
