Abbey Press to Shutter its Catalog Division

The decision to discontinue the division was made after an exhaustive process, said Wilson, including consultation with Abbey Press’ long-standing outside advisory board, an outside consultant and the Benedictine monastic community that owns the Press.

Abbey Press has four other divisions: printing, One Caring Place Publications, trade marketing, and an on-campus gift shop. Currently, Abbey Press employs 194 full-time, part-time and seasonal workers.
