100 Years Old...A Milestone for a Church Tradition

Greetings, Friends. Our Sunday Visitor has turned 100 years old! May 5, 2012 marked the 100th anniversary of the first edition of Our Sunday Visitor weekly newspaper, and we celebrated by hosting an Open House here in Huntington, IN. For those of you who could attend, we're so glad you stopped by. We estimate between 700 and 1,000 people came through our doors that day to take a plant tour, have a hot dog, get a balloon animal, and/or eat birthday cake. We were privileged to have Redeemer Radio, our local Catholic radio station, broadcasting live for the entire two hours so those who couldn't physically be here, could listen in to our merriment. We  have other exciting events planned throughout 2012, including several events on Friday, September 28, including a "Continuing the Legacy Symposium" featuring Cardinal George, Helen Alvare and Scott Hahn followed by a Mass of Thanksgiving and Re- dedication at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, and then a dinner for our guests. I've included a link to the press release for anyone interested in reading more about Our Sunday Visitor's mission and history. If you read it, I guarantee that you'll learn something!  I feel so blessed to serve the Church using my talents here at Our Sunday Visitor.

Our Sunday Visitor has been in the vineyard for a Century...that's our mission. Hope to see you there too.
