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 is the bishop of Rome and the visible head of the worldwide Catholic Church. He is also known as the supreme pontiff, Roman pontiff, or sovereign pontiff. From the eighth century until 1870, the pope was the sovereign or head of state of the Papal States, and since 1929 of the much smaller Vatican City state. 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 reigning 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. She is an important figure of Christianity, venerated under various titles such as virgin or queen, many of them mentioned in the Litany of Loreto. The Eastern and Oriental Orthodox, Catholic, Anglican, Methodist, and Lutheran churches believe that Mary, as mother of Jesus, is the Mother of God. The Church of the East historically regarded her as Christotokos, a term still used in Assyrian Church of the East liturgy. Other Protestant views on Mary vary, with some holding her to have lesser status. She has the highest position in Islam among all women and is mentioned numerous times in the Quran, including in a chapter named after her. She is also revered in the Baháʼí Faith and the Druze Faith.
