Biographical or Historical Information
After the loss of the United States Catholic Miscellany in the 1861 peninsula fire, the Diocese of Charleston did not have another diocesan newspaper until 1952, beginning with folio inserts in Our Sunday Visitor newspapers, entitled The Catholic Banner. Eventually, the Office of Diocesan Press (aka, Press Office, Diocesan Press) became a full time venture and the diocese produced its own multi-folio newspaper. Circa 1990, Bishop Thompson recalled the roots of the diocesan newspaper, renaming it the New Catholic Miscellany and reorganizing the office, relocating its offices from Columbia to the Chancery in Charleston. John Conic of Columbia, S.C., was a long time editor of the Catholic Banner, serving from 1972 to 1990.
