Our history
New City Press is one of more than 20 publishing houses linked to the Focolare Movement. Founded in 1943 by Chiara Lubich, the Focolare began with a small community in Trent, Italy, who felt called to bring about the unity that Jesus prayed for to the Father: “That they may all be one” (Jn 17:21 ). Today, it is a worldwide movement approved by the Catholic Church.
Today New City Press is a member of the Association of Catholic Publishers and is located in Hyde Park, New York, within the Mariapolis Luminosa.
