Founded in 1997 by Carolyn Klika as a Catholic family-owned company, Catholic Word began in response to publishers' need for assistance in reaching the Catholic world with their titles. Our mission is to build up the Church one soul at a time through top quality Catholic books, faith formation programs, DVDs, CDs, music and other resources. Wherever a person is on their faith journey, we offer real help to taking the next step closer to God. and innovative resources as we network with bookstores, parishes, schools, ministries, speakers, individuals and more. We are dedicated to excellence in service. Our goal is to protect our customers' interests equally with our own. We view our customers as brothers and sisters in Christ, to be served as we would serve Jesus.
