A Florida native and St. Paul resident with three years of experience as a print and online journalist joined The Catholic Spirit as a reporter June 11.

Joshua McGovern, 26, a member with his wife, Sophia Stella, of Our Lady of Grace in Edina, said he also holds a deep appreciation of, and devotion to, the Church.

“As a Catholic, I have a desire to boldly spread the Gospel wherever I go,” McGovern said. “I pray that I’m able to step out in faith each day and bring truth to the world through the great gift of storytelling. I look forward to beginning my time here at The Catholic Spirit and I hope to bring with me a dedication to faith, truth and the Church.”

A 2021 graduate of the University of West Florida in Pensacola, Florida, with a bachelor’s degree in English and a minor in psychology, McGovern most recently was community editor for the weekly Sun Post newspaper, which serves Brooklyn Park and Brooklyn Center. He has reported on crime, politics, business and other topics.

McGovern was a reporter with Faribault Daily News and the Kenyon Leader, covering the Faribault, Kenyon and Wanamingo communities, from 2022 to 2023. He was an editorial intern with Twin Cities Business magazine in 2022.

“We are grateful and excited to have Josh join The Catholic Spirit team,” said Joe Ruff, editor-in-chief of the newspaper. “His experience and desire to evangelize will enhance all that the official newspaper of the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis strives to do.”
