About Us

Welcome to the main page of information about IHS Press. Test

IHS Press was founded for the express purpose of re-popularizing the works of Catholic Social Thought by the great Social Catholics of the early 20th century. The Editors are firmly convinced that the wisdom of Catholic Social Thought is, today, largely a buried treasure, relatively untapped and almost wholly neglected. Nevertheless, it offers to a troubled world the solutions for a whole host of social ills.

IHS Press plans, God willing, to launch a number of imprints over the next several years dedicated to various aspects of Catholic Social Doctrine. The sheer number alone of texts that merit re-publication warrants their categorization into different lines of titles.


More importantly, there is a need for quality books in almost every area – from popular, general, and introductory essays, all the way to both general and specialized academic texts. These reprinted – or new – texts are needed specifically in order to compensate for the corruption of even the most "orthodox" of modern works by frankly false notions. It is the hope of IHS Press that the development of a number of lines of titles can help to remedy this situation, by offering philosophically and theologically sound analyses of the myriad of subjects which need treatment by a truly Catholic social science.

We are very much in need of your support in order to continue our efforts to popularize and make available the great titles of last century, as well as new works, on the Social Doctrine of the Church. Unfortunately, in a world in which money is the "engine" that drives material progress, we too are in need of our fair share. In that sense, your tax-deductible financial support – at any level – is desired and very much welcome.

There are a number of ways that you can help IHS Press, however, in addition to, or as an alternative to, a financial contribution.

Your prayers and Masses are paramount — truly our most urgent need. Patronize IHS Press by purchasing our titles; they make great gifts for both Catholics and non-Catholics interested in an engaging read on timely and relevant social issues. Spread the word: nothing is more helpful than old-fashioned word of mouth for spreading the news that there is now a publisher dedicated specially to the Social Doctrine of the Church.
