We're featuring a new Liguorian column this month: "Holy Homework", written by Fr. Bob Pagliari, CSsR, PHD.

Popular author Kathleen M. (Kate) Basi, author of Novena Meditations for the Wounded, offers these thoughts about using the time you have under the COVID-19 stay-at-home order in this video.

Liguori Publication would like to extend our condolences to the families, friends, and colleagues of two of our authors, Fr. Patrick Ritter of the Seattle Archdiocese and Joseph Martos.

During the new century’s second decade, Liguori Publications broadened its spectrum of respected, authoritative Catholic voices by acquiring Catholic Update, a well-known newsletter from Franciscan Media. Since 1973, this easy-to-read full-color four-pager has helped millions of Catholics grow their faith in classrooms, religious-education programs, and adult faith-formation settings. Written by leading theologians, spiritual authors, and biblical experts, more than 350 editions of Catholic Update on timely topics are available in print and electronically.

The electronic revolution of the 1980s created new vistas for Liguori Publications. In keeping with the technological advances of the time, Liguori developed and distributed a user-friendly software line on CD-ROM called Faithware that included Catholic Bible products, Catholic clip art, screen savers, and a homily subscription service. Meanwhile, Liguori’s art department shifted from creating typesetting and camera-ready artwork for its products to what was known at the time as desktop publishing.

While many changes are occurring, Liguori Publications’ mission—“Catholic, Pastoral, Trusted”—remains the company’s primary goal, reflecting the vision of its spiritual founder, Saint Alphonsus Liguori (1696–1787), a bishop and doctor of the Catholic Church who founded the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer (the Redemptorists) in 1732.

Reflecting on his time as president and publisher of Liguori Publications (1999–2006), Fr. Harry Grile, CSsR, wrote “Pastoral Publishing: How Liguorian’s Advice Changed with the Times” (Liguorian, March 2013). He remarked that the twenty-first century came in peacefully, but the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 “changed everything.” Nevertheless, Liguorian continued its mission to address readers’ anxious questions, including those about a “new normal,” as people in the US felt less safe and secure because of 9/11.

In the 1990s, Liguori Publications demonstrated a few nimble moves, adding an international beat! The company began targeting the pastoral needs of the Hispanic and African American communities, and it broadened its mission in the international marketplace of rights and permissions.

"The Alluring Voice of God: Forming Daily Encounters" invites readers to experience God’s voice in their prayers. With a special emphasis for young adults and teenagers, author Carrell Jamilano brings her experiences and spirit to life in this new 158-page paperback.
