Online Innovation

Circle Media has for years been a pioneer in Catholic periodical publishing. Now, we’re also pioneers in online publishing.

Register readers are generally aware of what is happening at NCRegister.com. We are breaking new stories and drawing your attention to key Catholic news in our daily updates there. That’s especially during the summer, when we’re publishing the print edition every two weeks. (Let this serve as a reminder — our next issue date will be Aug. 23. Weekly issues are scheduled to resume in September. Your subscription will last longer — since it goes by number of issues, not weeks — and we are publishing extra Register-exclusive stories in each biweekly issue.)

But don’t forget Faith & Family, our sister publication. Its website, FaithandFamilyLive.com, has debuted a Catholic first — social networking opportunities for Catholic moms. Make it one of your summer destinations. And invite your friends.

North Country Glory

This year, parishioners at Syracuse, N.Y.’s Assumption Church have two reasons to celebrate: the Aug. 15 patronal feast day and the 150th anniversary of the coming of the Conventual Franciscans to the parish.
