History
Ave Maria Press is one of the oldest Catholic publishing houses in the United States.
Rev.
James Cardinal Gibbons were contributors to the magazine. In 1875, Rev. Daniel Hudson C.S.C. became editor, a position he held until 1930.[7]
By 1900, Ave Maria was the largest English-language Catholic magazine worldwide.[3] At the same time, Ave Maria diversified its offerings, releasing books and pamphlets as well as the magazine.[8] The magazine was started in 1865 and continued until 1970 when it was dropped due to decline in circulation. Ave Maria Press now focuses solely on the publishing of Catholic books.[3] The company's bestselling book is Joseph M. Champlin's Together for Life, a guide for couples planning a Catholic wedding. Ave Maria Press is located on Moreau Drive on the campus of the University of Notre Dame.
