The Mariner
EDITOR KEN WEHMEYER, (573)547‐5561, wehprint@sbcglobal.net
The Mariner is the Missouri Knights of Columbus state newspaper, received by mail by every Knights family and by Knights widows by request. It contains news of what Knights families, Councils, Assemblies, Auxiliaries, Agencies, Districts, Chapters, and the State Council are doing all around the state. Publication deadlines are the 5th of September, November, March, and May.
The Mariner is Going Digital!
After much discussion the state council has decided to update the Mariner. Beginning in early 2026, the Mariner has been formatted into electronic form. The state will no longer be mailing out the Mariner resulting in a savings of over $40,000 in postage yearly.
Copy
Mariner content should be in the office of the Mariner Editor, 23 South West St., Perryville 63775, ON OR BEFORE each deadline date. A common error made by persons submitting copy for publication is that of writing or mailing the material on the deadline date. This means the material will not reach the editor in time for publication. Please allow two or three days prior to the actual deadline for the articles or photos to reach the editor's desk if sending via regular mail. If submitting by email, material may arrive up to the deadline to send. The address, phone and email address are listed above.
For all articles sent by regular mail, type written content is preferred, and in sentence case, in order to avoid as much misspelling of proper names as possible. However, if unable to type, please write or hand‐print copy as legible as possible. If submitting via email, please do so in Microsoft Word format (.doc, .docx), or just type the article in the form of an email for conversion. Confirmation of receipt will be provided if requested.
Photos
Pictures submitted should be in positive form if by regular mail. (No film negatives please.) Please remember WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET! IF USING A CAMERA PHONE OR DIGITAL CAMERA, MAKE SURE TO TAKE THE PHOTO OF THE SUBJECT AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE. PHOTOS NEEDING TO BE ENLARGED USUALLY ARE POOR IN QUALITY.
If submitting a photo via email, which is preferred, please provide it in jpeg format, and limit the size to no larger than 8” ×10” or 1536×1024 pixels. It is most important that all photos be properly identified, and please try to answer the basic 5‐"W" questions in your copy: WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHEN, and WHY. Again, please avoid sizes larger than 8” ×10”.
Articles or photos should be submitted via a district deputy, a state Council officer, director, or chairman. Councils who do not see their submitted articles in the next issue may contact the editor.
