On Communications Weekend in the Diocese we focus on our namesake, the Western New York Catholic, with Managing Editor, Patrick McPartland and Photographer, Dan Cappellazzo.

Our guest is Father Jeff Nowak, Honorary Chairperson for this year's Catholic Communication Campaign, taking place in parishes of the diocese next weekend, June 10-11.

With the closing of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus we go back 20 years into the archives for an interview from October 1996 with Father Jerry Hogan who still serves as National Circus Chaplain.
