Saint Austin Press is a British Roman Catholic publishing house founded in 1996. Its editor-in-chief is Robert Asch.
In its first ten years of operation, when it was based in Brockley, Saint Austin Press published around 50 books on various themes as diverse as William Shakespeare, hagiography, Freemasonry, floristry, liturgy, Scripture, Apologetics, fiction and poetry. [1] Its underlying message has been the communication of Catholic values and teaching through the promotion of Christian culture in general. It was notable for publishing Ad Completorium which contained the complete text and music for Compline according to the Roman Catholic Breviary of 1961.
In 2001, the Press launched a monthly review of culture, the St. Austin Review, carrying learned and more popular articles on cultural themes viewed from a Catholic perspective. The StAR came about after negotiations for the Press to purchase The Month and continue publishing the title ended in failure. [2] The Month finally closed in the same year, having been for over a century a popular cultural forum for Catholic writers in the UK. StAR was subsequently acquired by Ave Maria University in the United States, before moving its home to St Augustine's Press. [3]
Saint Austin Press launched its new website with a selection of new titles in July 2021.

The pope, also known as supreme pontiff, Roman pontiff or sovereign pontiff, is the bishop of Rome, head of the worldwide Catholic Church, and has also served as the head of state or sovereign of the Papal States and later the Vatican City State since the eighth century. From a Catholic viewpoint, the primacy of the bishop of Rome is largely derived from his role as the apostolic successor to Saint Peter, to whom primacy was conferred by Jesus, who gave Peter the Keys of Heaven and the powers of "binding and loosing", naming him as the "rock" upon which the Church would be built. The current pope is Francis, who was elected on 13 March 2013.
Mary was a first-century Jewish woman of Nazareth, the wife of Joseph and the mother of Jesus.

Other Protestant views on Mary vary, with some holding her to have considerably lesser status.

For most of its recorded history, Irish culture has been primarily Gaelic. It has also been influenced by Anglo-Norman, English and Scottish culture. The Anglo-Normans invaded Ireland in the 12th century, and the 16th/17th century conquest and colonisation of Ireland saw the emergence of Tudor English culture repurposed in an Irish style. The Plantation of Ulster also introduced Scottish elements mostly confined to Northern Ireland.
