There will be no issue of The Catholic Post next week as the newspaper continues its tradition of skipping one issue in each of the summer months of June, July, and August. The next issue will be dated Aug. 2.

Correspondents should note that the final skip issue of the summer will be the one that would have been dated Aug. 16.

The newspaper offices remain open as usual during the skip weeks. Contact the staff with story ideas and photo requests at (309) 671-1550, ext. 286.
