Several years ago, the late Bishop Thomas G. Doran approved a cost-saving measure for The Observer. He allowed us to skip editions on fifth Fridays. But this has invariably led to missed items. This blog is a way we can try to fill those gaps. We hope you like this addition to The Observer's online offerings.
We won't promise new items every day, or even every week, but we'll try to include things that come in after deadline plus other miscellany that comes in. (That's where the "plus" comes in.) We hope all of you readers feel free to tell us about things you are reminded of when reading The Observer.
Send us a note. Attach a photo, too, if you have one. If we can reproduce it, we'll use it here.
If you want to share a news event or news item, check out our Share a news item page.
You'll find us a little less formal here than we are in the pages of the paper, so don't worry about making your submission "perfect."
