The Western New York Catholic, (formerly Magnificat, Catholic Union and Echo,[1] Catholic Union and Times and The Catholic Union) is a monthly (formerly weekly) newspaper published by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Buffalo, New York from 1872.[2][3][4][5][6]

History

Rev. Dr. Louis A. Lambert[7] and Bishop Stephen V. Ryan[8][9] founded The Catholic Union in 1872 in Waterloo, New York.[3] It became The Catholic Union and Times[10] after a merger[3] in 1881.[11] Editors included Katherine Eleanor Conway and Irish-American community leader and priest Patrick Cronin (1836-1905).[3] In August 1939, another merger with The Catholic Echo[12] created the Catholic Union and Echo.[1] Horace Frommelt was an editor,[13] and Father William P. Solleder a managing director,[14][15] in the early 1940s, and the paper took an anti-war stance.[16][17] Bishop James McNulty sought a name change in 1963, and a public naming contest resulted in the title Magnificat being adopted.[18] In March 1966, the body of then editor, Reverend Monsignor Francis J. O'Connor, was found floating in Scajaquada Creek with facial bruises.[19] The publication became known as the 'Western New York Catholic in 1981.[1]
