In April 1985 we published our first three titles under the newly-founded imprint, The Columba Press. The three books were Masses with Young People by Donal Neary SJ, Funeral Homilies edited by Liam Swords, and Disturbing the Peace by Eamonn Bredin. Since then we have grown substantially and now publish across a broad range of areas, including pastoral resources, spirituality, theology, the arts,

and history. We publish approximately thirty-five new titles per year and have around 350 books in print.In 2001 we published The Glenstal Book of Prayer. This book has sold over 150,000 copies worldwide and it topped the bestsellers list in Ireland for eighteen weeks! This was followed in 2004 with the very successful Book of Common Prayer for the Church of Ireland, which also, in its various editions, sold over 120,000 copies. Our continuing publishing programme seeks to keep up with the rapid changes in both church and society. Among Columba’s bestselling authors are James P. O’Leary, Mark Patrick Hederman, Pat Collins, Tony Flannery, Sean Fagan and Brian D’Arcy. In addition to our own publishing programme, Columba is also the European distributor for several leading US and Canadian publishers, and the Irish distributor for a number of British and Irish imprints.
