NZ Catholic

We wanted to share with you the news that NZ Catholic will transition from a fortnightly printed publication to a monthly digital publication in the coming months. Like all newspapers, NZ Catholic has been impacted by dramatic shifts in print and broadcast media. Now, with less than 1000 subscribers, it has reached the point where it is no longer sustainable to publish NZ Catholic as a printed newspaper. Bishop Steve has written to subscribers today thanking them for their support and providing details on how to receive a refund for subscription balances.

At this time, it is right to give thanks for the work of the NZ Catholic staff, past and present. They have been amazing. They have told the stories of our Church and society. They have published the joys and the sorrows of people’s lives. We ask for your prayerful support as we make this transition.
