Catholic newspaper

It is important that we all keep up with what is happening in our church, both at home and abroad. So we need to have access to the catholic press. Unfortunately the publishers will no longer give us a sale-or-return service. So from January 1st we must pay for all the copies they deliver to the parish. At present you see a large number remain each week unsold. I am reluctant to add any more administrative work to our overworked volunteers. What would you think to the suggestion that those who wish to receive a paper should pay each quarter in advance? We can then leave a named copy to be picked up from the porch. Other suggestions will be welcome.
