"...Probably our most well known publication is the Liguorian magazine, one of America 's leading Catholic periodicals. We also publish parish Sunday bulletins, youth and adult catechetical materials for parishes and religious education programs, informational pamphlets, and both hard and soft cover books. Liguori is the family name of Saint Alphonsus Liguori, an eighteenth century bishop and Doctor of the Church. In 1732 he founded a religious community of priests and Brothers: the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer, commonly known as Redemptorists.
In the mid-western part of the United States , Redemptorists began their publishing venture in 1913 with the Liguorian magazine, mentioned above. Liguori Publications itself dates to 1947, when Redemptorists led by Father Donald F. Miller, C.Ss.R., purchased a 120-acre estate twenty-five miles south of St. Louis , Missouri . Shortly thereafter, " Liguori , MO ," became the only post office in the world named for Saint Alphonsus."
