Angelus Press
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Angelus Press is the official publishing house of the Society of St. Pius X for the District of America. Founded by Fr. Carl Pulvermacher, OFM, in 1978 in Dickinson, Texas, Angelus Press is now located in a 5,000-square-foot (460 m²) facility in Kansas City, MO.[Fr. John Fullerton, the current U.S. District Superior of the Society of St. Pius X, is the Publisher and Fr. Kenneth Novak is the current Managing Editor. Bishop Bernard Fellay, as the current Superior General of the SSPX, acts as its ultimate censor. Angelus Press has printed over 125 of their own titles as well as a monthly magazine "The Angelus: A Journal of Roman Catholic Tradition" since 1978.
Its mission is to promote the traditional Catholic faith and the Tridentine rite of Mass. In 2005 it published a new edition of the 1962 Sunday Missal, beating rival Catholic publisher Baronius Press to publication by several months. As an official arm of the Society of St. Pius X, it publishes the works of Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre in English and titles which pertain to the perceived crisis in the Church. In addition, it publishes books and articles on a wide range of subjects, all relating in one way or another to Catholicism—spirituality, theology, family life, Church history, liturgy, the crisis in the Church, and matters directly concerning the Society.
