The Courier launched its website, www.CatholicCourier.com, in 1996, with major upgrades occurring in 2003 and 2009. A new site was set for launch in 2017. The paper also has established itself on a range of social-media platforms, and offers two weekly e-newsletters and an interactive digital replica of its print edition.
In 2004, the Courier transformed from a weekly newspaper reaching approximately 43,000 Catholic households to a monthly news- magazine reaching every registered Catholic household in the diocese. Circulation at the time of the diocese’s 150th anniversary was roughly 100,000.
In 2005, it launched the 8,200-circulation, Spanish-language El Mensajero Católico to serve the Hispanic community within the diocese. El Mensajero also offers a bilingual website, social- media outlets, an e-newsletter, and an interactive digital replica.
As it approaches its own 130th anniversary, the Catholic Courier continues evolving in order to achieve its mission of engaging and informing successive generations of diocesan Catholics about Catholicism and how to live it faithfully.
