2023 was a difficult year with two wars, social and cultural struggles, and what seems to be a deficit of faith in the world.
However, The Good Newsroom held up to its mission of shining a bright light on the good works of the Catholic Church throughout the year. While there have been some solemn stories to tell, the team provided information to our viewers and readers about the many ways the Church provides hope and help to many.
The Good Newsroom also published updates about the way it has continued to evolve. In early 2023, we launched The Good Newsroom app, which makes it easier to stay up to date with our news. In May, we launched a weekly e-newsletter that includes the best stories of each week.
We hope you haven’t missed a story, but if you did, below is a selection of stories from throughout the year. We hope you enjoy them.
