PHILADELPHIA — Archbishop Charles Chaput of Philadelphia has announced a reorganization of the archdiocesan administration that will result in the loss of 40 jobs and the closing of The Catholic Standard & Times, the 117-year-old archdiocesan newspaper.

Changes include the elimination of some offices and the combination of others, with reduced staffing levels.

The recent June issue of the Standard & Times, which went from a weekly to monthly publication schedule last year, was the last of the newspaper.
