About Us

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.
