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