DIOCESE--The Observer will be available free online until further notice, said Penny Wiegert, editor, in an open letter on March 23. She wrote:
Dear Readers,
During this difficult time of seclusion and isolation caused
by the coronavirus it is more important than ever that we stay connected as a
family of faith.
To help you be spiritually nourished and kept up-to-date on
diocesan directives during this time, The Observer Catholic Newspaper will be
accessible FREE OF CHARGE online at http://observertoo.rockforddiocese.org/
.
During this pandemic you can now find The Observer on your
computer, tablet, laptop or mobile device. The Observer staff will do
everything possible to keep the Catholic faithful in our 11-county diocese
up-to-date with special prayers being offered by the Holy Father Pope Francis,
Bishop David Malloy and other initiatives offered as the world combats the
coronavirus. We will continue offering insight from all our local columnists
including Bishop Malloy as well as local inspiration from people living their
faith.
We value our faithful subscribers who make our work possible
with their $28 annual subscriptions and will continue to mail our print
editions to them. We pray for a swift
end to this terrible health crisis and when that happens, we will again have the newspaper both print
and digital exclusive to those who pay for it.
However, at this extraordinary time for all of us, it is
vital for us to be united in as many aspects of our faith as possible.
Thank you and may God guide you and keep you from all harm.
Sincerely,
Penny WiegertEditor
