We are proud to be the publisher of these important titles deemed best in their field by the judges at the Catholic Press Association.
The Catholic Press Association, established in 1911, is an association of publisher and communication professionals in Catholic media. The association sponsors various award programs that honor works that inform and promote the mission of the Church.
