Messenger Publications

Messenger Publications is a leading Jesuit publishing house. Specialising in Ignatian spirituality, we are well known for books on the Spiritual Exercises, the Examen, St Ignatius, Jesuit saints as well as Jesuit history and Jesuit biography. Our books also focus on the Jesuit priorities of reflective living, social and climate justice and creating a hope-filled world for our young people. Therefore, titles on ecology, care for the earth, social justice and pastoral resources are publishing priorities. We also publish in the areas of scripture, liturgy, theology, prayer, preaching resources and homiletics. Bestselling authors include Brendan McManus SJ, Brian Grogan SJ, Dermot A Lane and many others. Since 1888 we have published The Sacred Heart Messenger magazine, which remains Ireland’s biggest selling religious monthly. In recent years it has included RE:Link, a resource for young people. Alongside our religious publishing programme, we publish a series of books showcasing the extraordinary photography of Fr Frances Browne SJ. These include Travelling on Titanic with Fr Browne which is based on his Titanic album and the unique photos he took on board the ship. It is a perennial bestseller. North American and translation rights are available in many of our titles, including Travelling on Titanic.
