Catholic Family News (ISSN 1084-5682) is a Traditionalist Catholic monthly publication, edited by traditionalist Catholic journalist John Vennari, printed and published in the Western New York/Southern Ontario region. Catholic Family Ministries, which publishes the monthly Catholic Family News (CFN), is run by John Vennari.

Catholic Family News has no official affiliation with the various traditionalist groups, but is sympathetic regarding the Society of Saint Pius X. The SSPX publishing house, Angelus Press, advertises in the newspaper. Frequently critical of the post-Vatican II liturgical changes in the Church, CFN recognizes the validity of properly-celebrated New Rite sacraments, rejects the sedevacantist position, and promotes the proper collegial consecration of Russia, as requested by Our Lady of Fatima.

The paper also includes devotional materials, and articles on historic Roman Catholic teachings and persons. Inspirational articles have appeared on Sister Annella Zervas, O.S.B.,[1] Blessed Theodore Romzha,[2] Mother Agnes Hart,[3] and Father Leo Heinrichs, O.F.M..[4]

Catholic Family News was designated as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) in 2015.[5]
