2025 has been an exciting year of growth and change for Liguori Publications! 

Liguori Publications is here with a gift guide for your holiday season! Check out these fantastic gifts for everyone in your family. Help your loved ones be rooted in God and remember the reason for the season. 

This Liguori News story is taken from “Economic Justice For All: 25th Anniversary, Wisdom for Today,” an issue of Liguori Publications’ “Catholic Update” newsletter.  It examines ethical principles for handling hard financial times in the economy.

A happy kitchen is a place of love, connection, joy, and creativity. Children can learn so much while connecting deeply with their parents. 

But as great as a happy kitchen can be, it is often complicated to get children involved. Recipes must be safe enough and simple enough and capable of holding the attention span of a child.  

Liguori Publications’ new cookbook, Saintly Bites, is a great way to get children involved in the kitchen and connect more deeply with the Catholic faith. With over 65 recipes that connect back to saints like St. Patrick, St. Frances de Sales, and St. Augustine, this book will equip families to connect more deeply with each other and with Christ’s Church. Memories like these will last a lifetime.

Author Shelby Siegfried, Catholic writer and mother of four, understands the intricate balance of nurturing body and soul amidst the challenges of everyday life. Her cookbook invites families to gather in the kitchen to prepare delicious meals together while exploring the extraordinary lives of the saints. Learn about Saint Teresa of Calcutta's boundless compassion as you enjoy a sip of Ginger Switchel or bake a loaf of Humble Sandwich Bread while reflecting on the selflessness of Saint Elizabeth of Hungary. 

This book is a great gift for Catholic families with young chefs. Children will enjoy creating yummy treats while learning about the saints and spending time with family. 

Saintly Bites is also a useful guide for Catholic educators and parish communities that wish to nurture the spiritual growth of young hearts and minds with an enjoyable, hands-on approach. 

The book features more than 65 recipes with ideas for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, drinks, sweet treats, and baked goods. 

Saintly Bites For Children will be available on 1 October 2025. Prepublication orders are now being accepted. 

September’s issue of Catholic Update features articles from Rev. Thomas M. Santa, CSsR on the various types of beliefs in Catholicism and how they come about. Check out this excerpt!

"If it bleeds it leads” continues as the journalistic mantra of secular media, with negative news repeated over and over throughout each day. In such a climate, the seeds of doubt can creep in as one begins to wonder if there is anything good left in the world.

That’s where Liguorian can help. It shines a light of hope wherever it lands as it consistently conveys the joyful message of God’s plentiful redemption. With insightful stories on matters of faith, Catholic practices, Christian living, and social justice, Liguorian delivers the simple message we all need to hear—that Jesus loves us and knows us by name.

For more than 100 years, Liguorian has been a light of hope for Catholics striving to live a life of faith. Today it continues to advance that message with bimonthly issues published in print and digital format. And it’s now available to parishes in a very economical “combo” subscription that includes a set quantity of printed issues (for parish staff, teachers, and catechists) along with an all access pass for every parishioner to read the digital edition on their personal devices.

The digital age makes it easier than ever to share the hope and joy that is found within the message of God’s plentiful redemption. To learn more about Liguorian magazine and how it can support your parish outreach, please contact Liguori Publications at 800-325-9521 or Liguori@Liguori.org.

Liguori Publications has just published the fourth edition of Understanding Scrupulosity. Written especially to help those who suffer with the sometimes debilitating affliction, this book can also serve as a reference guide for the many counselors, spiritual directors, and confessors who strive to help them. The book may also prove beneficial to family members to help them better understand the affliction, which is actually a form of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). This fourth edition reflects the pastoral insight of Rev. Thomas M. Santa, CSsR, developed over his many years of serving as priest/editor of the Scrupulous Anonymous newsletter. It also reflects advances made by researchers in treating the disorder.
