The Catholic Standard & Times, published from 1895 to 2012, [1] was the official newspaper of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Philadelphia.

Contents

It was the product of the merger of two earlier Catholic newspapers of Philadelphia. [2] The Catholic Standard, the official organ of the Diocese of Philadelphia, was published by Wm. Pepper & Co. [3] from January 6, 1866, to November 30, 1895. The Catholic Times ran from December 3, 1892, to November 23, 1895. [4]

The Catholic Standard & Times published its first issue on December 7, 1895. [4] Until its last few years, it published 50 times per year, except the week of July 4 and the last week of the year. It won numerous press awards from the Philadelphia Press Association and the Catholic Press Association and was a member of the latter. [5]

The newspaper received no funding from the archdiocese; revenues came from advertising and parish and home subscriptions. [1] In 2007, declining revenue led the paper to begin to cut costs. [1] In 2011, it moved to a monthly schedule. [6] It was discontinued in July 2012.

Although the physical newspaper is no longer in publication, the website CatholicPhilly.com remains active and is the official news website of the archdiocese.
