The Catholic Northwest Progress, a newspaper published for more than a century by the Seattle archdiocese, will cease publication on June 27 and be replaced by a ten-times-a-year magazine from Michigan that will focus on evangelization, the Archdiocese of Seattle quietly announced.

“Subscriptions for The Progress have declined steadily over the past four decades: Fewer than 8 percent of registered Catholic households currently receive the newspaper, which has been the official publication of the archdiocese for over 100 years,” the Progress reported earlier this week.
