In this special episode in honor of our first annual Founder’s Day, editor R. R. Reno and Davida Goldman discuss Fr. Richard John Neuhaus’s life and legacy. Ms. Goldman worked with Fr. Neuhaus from 1987 until his death in 2009, and she continues to work at First Things today. If you wish to read more about Fr. Richard’s legacy, you can visit the April 2009 issue of First Things.

We launched the First Things 2023 Year-End Campaign to keep articles like the one you just read free of charge to everyone.
Measured in dollars and cents, this doesn't make sense. But consider who is able to read First Things: pastors and priests, college students and professors, young professionals and families. Last year, we had more than three million unique readers on firstthings.com.
Informing and inspiring these people is why First Things doesn't only think in terms of dollars and cents. And it's why we urgently need your year-end support.
Will you give today?
