The Witness is the official publication of the Archdiocese of Dubuque from 1921-2020. It features local stories from parishes and the faithful in addition to national and international Catholic news.
The Witness was founded by Archbishop James J. KEANE in 1921 as the official archdiocesan newspaper. It carries all official diocesan business and the national and international news of interest to Catholics. In 1975 the publication’s offices were moved to 1229 Mount Loretta. Before that they were located in the Telegraph Herald building at 801 Bluff and the paper was printed there.
