Clarion Herald

The Clarion Herald is the official newspaper of the Catholic Archdiocese of New Orleans.^[1]

Description

The stated mission of the Clarion Herald is to enable its readers to grow in their Catholic faith and to develop as mature, well-informed Catholics.^[2]

The newspaper also functions as an outlet for editorials by the Archbishop of New Orleans and other leaders in the

priest abuse scandals.^[3]

The newspaper typically promotes the official archdiocesan views on such subjects.

History

John Cody, the archbishop of Chicago, authorized the creation of the Clarion Herald and subsidized its operations.^[4] The first issue was published on February 28, 1963.^[5]

Cody's successor, Philip Hannan, cut back on the newspaper's funding in 1966.^[4]

It is affiliated with the Catholic Media Association and has won an award from the CMA.^[6] The newspaper is published weekly and an online copy is available free of charge to parishioners in local churches throughout the Greater New Orleans Area.^[7]

After Hurricane Katrina made landfall in New Orleans on August 28, 2005, publication of the newsletter ceased for a month and resumed on October 1, 2005. The newspaper extensively covered the recovery effort in all parishes in the New Orleans area.^[8]^[9]^[10]

The Clarion Herald was previously published online in HTML format from 1999 to August 2005 and has since been published online in PDF format, in print, and online.^[11]
