Bishop Edward U. Kmiec is set to retire from his post in the Diocese of Buffalo.

Over the past few months, the staff of the Western New York Catholic has been working hard on a special 48-page tribute edition for Bishop Edward U. Kmiec, as he gets set to retire from his seat.  You can read the entire issue online right now by clicking here.

Among the highlights of the issue is a exclusive interview with Bishop Kmiec about his legacy here in Buffalo, several reflections on the man himself, the biggest news stories of his tenure and more.  We'll be posting stories from the issue over the next week as the diocese celebrates the bishop with a special Mass at St. Joseph Cathedral this Sunday.

For those of you looking for our online October edition, you can still read that issue by clicking here.  It will be available until Nov. 3.
