West Tennessee Catholic Internet Edition

The “WTC” was converted to an online news format in September 2013. Placing the news online makes the news fresher and easier to share than in print. It also allows us to move toward a greener distribution of news. As per Pope Francis, we are called on to care for the planet God has given us as a home. Using less paper and fuel for delivery of newspapers is one way we’re trying to make the world a better place.

Since February of 2019 the ‘WTC” has been in a state of re-evaluation and re-structuring as we strive to meet the needs of the parishioners of the Diocese of Memphis in Tennessee.
