From the U.S. Catholic archives

Following in the footsteps of St. Anthony Claret, the Claretians began their publishing ministry in the United States in 1935 with The Voice of St. Jude. In 1963 that publication became U.S. Catholic magazine.

To celebrate the magazine’s rich history, each month we’ll post an article that appeared in a past issue of U.S. Catholic. Relive all of our past “From the archives” features below, and check the homepage each month for a new flashback feature.
