Attention Readers:
Welcome to
our website. Readers who are familiar with The Wanderer know we have been
providing Catholic news and orthodox commentary for 150 years in our weekly
print edition.
Our daily version offers only some of what we publish weekly in print. To take
advantage of everything The Wanderer publishes, we encourage you to
subscribe
to our flagship weekly print edition,
which is mailed every Friday or, if you want to
view it in its entirety online,
you can
subscribe to the E-edition,
which is a replica of the print edition.
Our daily edition includes: a selection of
material from recent issues of our print edition, news stories updated daily
from renowned news sources, access to archives from The Wanderer from the past
10 years, available at a minimum charge (this will be expanded as time goes
on). Also: regularly updated features where we go back in time and highlight

And: a comments section in which your remarks are encouraged, both good and bad,
including suggestions.
We encourage you to become a daily visitor to
our site. If you appreciate our site, tell your friends. As Catholics we must
band together to rediscover our faith and share it with the world if we are to
effectively counter a society whose moral culture seems to have no boundaries
and a government whose rapidly extending reach threatens to extinguish the
rights of people of faith to practice their religion (witness the HHS mandate).
Now more than ever, vehicles like The Wanderer are needed for clarification and
guidance on the issues of the day.
Catholic, conservative, orthodox, and loyal to the
Magisterium have been this journal’s hallmarks for five generations. God
willing, our message will continue well into this century and beyond.

President, The Wanderer Printing Co.
