Why has Pauline Books and Media become one of the most trusted Catholic publishers in the U.S.?  The Daughters of St. Paul are passionate about the new evangelization and the power of the media to permeate society with the word of God and the hope brought by Jesus Christ.
We believe that we and our authors offer a fruitful announcement of the Word of salvation. in the midst of the challenges in the present changing social-cultural and ecclesial context so that every man and woman of good will can encounter the Word that saves: Christ the Master, Way, Truth and Life. It is the synergy between Pauline Books and Media and our authors that enables us all to permeate the world with the Gospel and fill it with hope.

Pauline Kids / Pauline TEEN is the premier name in Catholic children’s publishing in the United States today.
