Ave Maria Press

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ave Maria Press is a Roman Catholic publishing company which was founded in 1865 by Friar Edward Sorin, a Holy Cross priest who had founded the University of Notre Dame.[1]

[edit] Ave Maria magazine

Sorin founded the company in order to publish the Ave Maria magazine, a magazine focussed on Catholic families, honoring Mary, and showcasing Catholic writings. [1] Sorin then made Sister Angela Gilespie, a nurse veteran of the Civil War, in charge.[1] By 1900, Ave Maria was the largest English-language Catholic magazine worldwide.[1] The magazine was started in 1865 and continued until 1970 when it was dropped due to decline in circulation.[1] Ave Maria Press now focuses solely on the publishing of Catholic books.[1]
