‘Classmates’ in 50th year
New Orleans
    Congratulations on the Clarion’s 50th anniversary. We are “classmates,” since I finished my seminary training that same year.
    I remember how excited we were at North American College in Rome to receive a copy of the first issue sent by air mail.
    Archbishop Cody wanted to be sure we had that first issue, and we proudly showed it off to our fellow students.
    We had always received the old Catholic Action, but it arrived months late by junk mail.
    Your 50th anniversary special edition was a treat. I’m sure it will become a collector’s item.
    May the Lord continue to bless you and all at the Clarion Herald.

Enjoyed ‘superlative’ issue
New Orleans
    Congratulations to you and the entire staff of the Clarion Herald for the superlative Golden Anniversary issue. I thoroughly enjoyed the photographs, the stories and the history of our archdiocese – its dedicated, committed and loyal clergy, religious and lay men and women who contributed so much to the wonderful and myriad tapestry of our great archdiocese.
    May God continue to bless you and those whom you serve.
