Reworking the way we share the stories of our faith
Happy Thanksgiving from Bishop Kevin Sweeney, Jai Agnish, Cecile Pagliarulo, and all of us in the Communications Office of the Diocese of Paterson, N.J.! On this week's episode, Bishop Kevin and Jai discuss the difficult decision to close the print edition of The Beacon. It was recently announced The Diocese of Paterson would cease printing its beloved newspaper at the end of the year, concluding a 58-year publication run at the helm of four different bishops. The Beacon will live on in its new form: Beaconnj.org, where the important stories of our faith community will continue to be passed along. Bishop Kevin also shares highlights of his experience with his brother bishops at the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) Fall assembly in Baltimore, Md., earlier this month. He also discusses the unfortunate situation of donations that went missing from a FedEx drop box on Oct. 30 and Oct. 31.
