Forging Ahead

Publisher's Note

When the Register interviewed me in early November 2010 as EWTN’s CEO for its Jan. 2, 2011, issue (“Getting to Know Mother Angelica”), little did I know what God had in store for our respective media outlets. However, over the course of the months of December and January, it became apparent that our futures would be intertwined.

As the Register’s new publisher, I can’t tell you how excited I am to be able to continue EWTN’s mission of presenting the news of the world through the lens of the Church.

I may be an unfamiliar face to most readers of the paper, but the Register certainly isn’t new to me. I’ve been a longtime reader, so when we were looking into the possibility of acquiring the newspaper and website, I knew exactly what the Register’s gifts were. Now that the acquisition is a reality, I’m pleased to welcome the Register and all its employees to the EWTN family.

I ask for your prayers as we forge ahead in our new adventure.

God bless!
