100% delight guaranteedWe want you to be happy with our products and services, so we fully guarantee your satisfaction. If you are not completely delighted, let us know, and we will make things right for you,
our partner in ministry.
Saint Mary’s Press is in the ministry of touching the hearts of young people and their families with the Good News of Jesus Christ. Our roots are grounded in our Christian Brothers of de La Salle heritage, and we are shaped by the patron saint of teachers, Saint John Baptist de La Salle. He devoted his life to the Christian and human education of the young, especially
those who were poor.
Our resources affirm the human experience, encourage the Christian spiritual journey, and engage the heart and mind. We are grateful to be in partnership with you, the ministers of
grace, in the lives of today’s young people.
The story of Saint Mary’s Press started long, long ago (it’s nearly our 73rd birthday!) when the beloved
Brother Alphonsus Pluth, FSC, had an ardent desire to create quality religious education resources.
He had a singular focus: a passion for doing what’s best for the kids (a thought deeply-rooted in the
LaSallian tradition). Brother Alphonsus pushed for new methods and human-centered approaches rooted in
the Gospel vision; and he, along with a group of dedicated Lasallian Brothers, succeeded. Living with Christ 1
was our first curriculum, printed and shipped to high schools across the United States in September 1943. It
changed the course of how religion is taught in schools and parishes, making it something that truly enlivens
young people’s hearts and minds with the Good News of Jesus Christ! Today, Saint Mary’s continues this good
work—producing Bibles, religious education materials, youth ministry resources, religion curriculum, mobile
applications, and music, and utilizing all appropriate means and media, to do just one essential thing:
what’s best for the kids.
