Who We Are at Loyola Press
Inspiring transformative encounters with God through faith-filled learning.
For over 100 years, our mission at Loyola Press has been to help people find God in all things and to facilitate transformative experiences of God so that people of all ages can lead holy and purposeful lives with and for others.
To fulfill this mission, we develop curriculum programs for Catholic schools and parishes that reach tens of thousands of young people and their families across the globe every year.
We are inspired by Saint Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits), a man who spent his whole post-conversion life providing catechesis and engaging others in spiritual conversation. Everything we do is “for the greater honor and glory of God.” This phrase is the motto of the Jesuits and flows from Saint Ignatius’s Spiritual Exercises.
This classical set of spiritual practices leads individuals and families who engage in them to a highly prayerful and active spirituality in the Catholic tradition. The aim of the Exercises is to guide the seeker toward an inner freedom that allows him or her to offer a wholehearted yes to a life in God.
Ignatius himself was an innovative publisher who employed the most modern approaches available to reach as many people as possible in an age of tremendous change and scientific discovery.
Loyola Press understands the power of the written word, images, and media in nurturing a vibrant relationship with God and others. We see our mission of publishing, curriculum development, and catechesis as a “noble cause,” and we work diligently each day to accomplish our goals.
In addition to our spirituality and faith formation offerings, Loyola Press is committed to helping young people communicate the faith through our robust offerings in language arts curriculum.
