About the Press

Catholic books for the life of faith.

Homily Press is the English-language imprint of Editora Homilias, a Catholic publishing house in Brazil whose portal publishes every day, at no charge, the liturgy of the Mass, a homily, and the prayers of the Church.

The Press carries into English, one title at a time, books already read by Catholics in Brazil: the teaching of the Church on the last things, the doctrine of purgatory, the great Marian devotions, and the documents of the living Magisterium. Each book is prepared for the American reader with the official English sources and a sober, devout voice.

How the Press works

Scripture first. Every book stands on the Word of God, cited from the Revised Standard Version, Second Catholic Edition.

Doctrine kept in its place. Defined dogma, theological opinion, and private revelation are marked apart, with the Catechism, the councils, the Fathers, and the saints cited by name.

Sources you can check. Papal and conciliar texts are quoted from the editions published by the Holy See.

The Press promises no results, sells no fear, and claims no ecclesiastical approval it does not have. It is an independent publisher and is not an official publication of the Holy See or of any diocese.
