Thank you John and Happy Retirement

John Clawson has been the editor of the Catholic Post since it began in December 2021. He is retiring from this role and his role as editor of the Nottingham Catholic News which he has held since the paper started, over 24 years ago. John edited 313 editions of Nottingham Catholic News and 19 editions of Catholic Post. Bishop Patrick McKinney, Bishop of Nottingham said: ‘Catholic journalism is such an integral tool for mission; indeed, Pope Francis puts it well in noting that “Journalism is not so much a matter of choosing a profession, but rather of embarking on a mission”. Our heartfelt thanks go to John, for his mission and for giving so fully of himself in this vital field of work for more than 24 years. In recognition of such work, Bishop Patrick will present John with the diocesan 'Saint Hugh Of Lincoln Award'. We assure John of our prayers as he embarks on this next step of his journey."
