Rockville Centre, N.Y., Oct 5, 2012 \/ 04:28 am (CNA<\/a>).- Facing financial challenges, New York\u2019s Diocese of Rockville Centre is converting its weekly newspaper The Long Island Catholic into a subscription-based monthly magazine, Bishop William Murphy of Rockville Centre announced Oct. 2.<\/p>\n

\tSean Dolan, director of communications, said the diocese hopes that readers will \u201cenjoy the new diocesan magazine and support it enthusiastically.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tHe said the magazine will be a resource for faith formation for the diocese\u2019s Catholic families.<\/p>\n

\t\u201cIt will be something people will be proud to leave out, pass along and share. In this year of faith, we need to evangelize. And we think this new magazine will help in that regard.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tDolan said the newspaper has a \u201crich history\u201d and served Catholics and local businesses for more than 50 years.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tThe new form of the publication will save the diocese hundreds of thousands of dollars in its annual subsidy, he added. It will contain local news, faith stories, regular local columnists and new national columns.<\/p>\n

\tThe diocese said the magazine will be \u201cmore formational than informational.\u201d It will explore individual stories about local Catholics\u2019 faith. Columns on parenting and work will help readers bring their faith to daily life.<\/p>\n

\tThe magazine is based on the Diocese of Lansing\u2019s FAITH Catholic Publishing model, which is used by more than 20 dioceses across the country.<\/p>\n

\tBishop Peter Libasci of Manchester, N.H., a former auxiliary bishop of Rockville Centre, uses the magazine model and has received favorable responses in readership surveys.<\/p>\n

\tSubscriptions to the new magazine cost $30 per year for 10 issues. Those who contribute to the annual Long Island Catholic Collection on Dec. 3 can receive a subscription at a reduced price of $20.<\/p>\n

\tThe diocese\u2019s website, www.drvc.org<\/a>, will serve as the primary source for daily updated news and for breaking news.<\/p>\n

\tThe first issue of the new monthly magazine will be sent to current newspaper subscribers at the end of November.<\/p>\n

\tThe Diocese of Rockville Center serves over 1.7 million baptized Catholics with 134 parishes in 115 towns.<\/p>\n
