Dear Friends of U.S. Catholic,
Thank you for considering supporting U.S. Catholic magazine and uscatholic.org.
Your contributions help U.S. Catholic address the important issues facing today’s Catholics. With a unique focus on social justice within the context of faith in real life, our team of journalists, writers, and thought leaders address how issues such as poverty, education, family life, the environment, global citizenship, and even pop culture can be seen through the lens of our Catholic faith.
We at U.S. Catholic see our magazine as a joint enterprise with you, our dedicated and engaged readers. Only with your ideas, opinions, and financial support are we able to publish this award-winning magazine. Your help ensures the vitality of our magazine and guarantees the continuation of its critical role as an open forum for dialogue about our common Catholic faith. We hope you’ll join us in building on the success of U.S. Catholic.
Thank you for partnering with us in this important ministry.
Gratefully,

Rev. Ferdinand Okorie, C.M.F.
Editor-in-Chief

In memory of Father Tony Schumacher
A very special thank you to Father Tony Schumacher (1927-2019) for his generous gift to U.S. Catholic. Father Schumacher was the pastor of Holy Mother of Consolation Church in Oregon, Wisconsin and a chaplain at Edgewood College and St. Mary’s Hospital in Madison. He graduated from Marquette University and worked for many years as a journalist with the Stoughton Courier Hub, the Janesville Gazette, and the Wisconsin Taxpayers Alliance. He attended St. Francis Seminary in Milwaukee and was ordained a priest for the Catholic diocese of Madison in 1960. His bequest will help U.S. Catholic continue its mission of helping Catholics to engage their faith in everyday life and to provide quality Catholic content for years to come.
If you are interested in learning about how to leave a bequest to U.S. Catholic, please contact plannedgiving@uscatholic.org.
Thank you, friends of U.S. Catholic
The staff of U.S. Catholic magazine and the Claretian Missionaries thank you for supporting our publishing ministry.
