About Arouca Press
“When we read, our masters must not be a goal for us, but a starting point. A book is a cradle, not a tomb.”
—Antonin-Gilbert Sertillanges, O.P.
Arouca Press has taken the lead on a crucially important niche that blends political theory, Thomistic theology, and practical Catholic wisdom that can help the laity save their souls.
—LifeSite interview, June 10, 2020
The name “Arouca”
The name refers to the profoundly religious northern region of Portugal, which for many centuries was home to the Abbey of St. Bartholomew until its suppression in the nineteenth century.
Founded at Fatima’s anniversary
Arouca Press was founded on October 13, 2018—the anniversary of the Miracle of the Sun at Fatima.
Arouca Press is a publishing company dedicated to breathing new life into the intellectual and spiritual foundations that nurtured Catholic culture.
Recover
To publish out-of-print Catholic books that re-invigorate the contemplative life.
Publish
To release original titles that provoke discussion about the contemporary world through the perennial lens of the Catholic faith.
“Books are signposts; the road is older.”
—Antonin-Gilbert Sertillanges, O.P.
Our fidelity to the Magisterium of the Catholic Church is grounded by a radical adherence to eternal truths that can never change. These truths, which the Catholic Church proclaims in their beauty and grandeur, challenge our modern inclinations to disassociate ordinary living from sacramental life or reduce religion to mere abstraction.
To combat these tendencies, we must incarnate these truths in our daily lives and recuperate the ideas that have aided Christians in their pursuit of holiness with integrity, intelligence, and a deep love for the faith.
Theology
Books rooted in the Catholic intellectual tradition.
Sacred Liturgy
A renewed appreciation of worship and tradition.
