industry mainly through the trademark Twenty-Third,
acquired in 1999. This trademark, born after
Vatican II, is extremely strong among American
parishes. Its catalogue includes all facets
of the pastoral (catechism, spirituality, etc.)
and provides tools to those who want to understand
and develop their faith. Twenty-Third also
publishes academic titles and daily meditation
leaflets for Lent and Advent, as well as children
books. Certain titles from the catalogue, such
as Catholic Custom and Tradition, have been
sold at over a million copies. The Twenty-Third
trademark, with over 500 titles and 40 new
releases every year, is also available through
bookstores.
