Clonmacnois Press
Description
Catholic publishing company based in Blessington, County Wicklow, Ireland. In the words of John Paul II, what is essential in order to bring the Good News to the modern world is a proclamation that is “new in ardour, methods, and expression”.
Clonmacnois Press takes its name after the ancient monastic site founded by St. Ciarán in the heart of Ireland in 545. It seeks to revive the old tradition of Clonmacnois whereby beautifully illustrated manuscripts were produced and spread outwards to a surrounding world that so hungered for the Gospel in the era following the collapse of the Roman Empire.
In the same way that Clonmacnois helped spread the faith and the Word of God across Ireland, Europe and the far flung corners of the world this new Irish publishing company seeks to be at the service of the New Evangelisation and to inspire and help strengthen the Catholic faith everywhere.
We are committed to providing Catholic resources which serve the New Evangelisation and which have an Irish connection in their origin.

Orders can be made through our website: http://www.clonmacnoispress.com/index.php?id=64 The book has been widely well received. Here are some endorsements: “It is a pleasure to read and to look at. The illustrations are magnificent. Their theology and insight are most profound and come from a heart that loves the Lord...Page after page reminds us of what it is all about: Our Lord in the centre.” Priest, County Cork "It is rare nowadays to be able to recommend material of a catechetical nature that is really suitable for the preparation of children for First Communion, but this book is the exception. The author of My First Holy Communion has succeeded in bringing together the basic rudiments of the faith needed to receive the sacraments in an exemplary fashion. She has also expressed these fundamental truths in a language that is simple yet profound. The book will open up the child's mind and heart to the mysteries of our faith. The text is presented with graphics and images which are both beautiful and inspiring. I have no hesitation in recommending this delightful -- and much needed -- introduction to the faith for children preparing for First Confession and First Holy Communion." Rev Dr D Vincent Twomey SVD
