About the show
This October, the Catholic Courier, which is the Catholic newspaper for the 12-county diocese of Rochester, NY, will mark its 135th anniversary of its founding. To celebrate this milestone, the Rochester Catholic Press Association, which publishes the Catholic Courier, will host an art-gallery style exhibition offering a retrospective of historic and artistic photojournalism from the archives of the Catholic Courier and predecessor titles.
To coincide with this exhibition, the Catholic Courier will bring you a special limited series podcast with past and present Catholic Courier photographers.
