“I may be deceived, disappointed, laughed to scorn, but with all that I will still retain my conviction that The Ave Maria will be the source of most abun- dant blessings, one of the best things ever done in the congregation, and ultimately a glorious work for our Blessed Mother.” — Holy Cross Father Edward Sorin

NOTRE DAME — Even after 150 years, Ave Maria Press remains committed to the core mission set by Holy Cross Father Edward Sorin in 1865 as he established the Congregation of Holy Cross in the United States. Ave was the third apostolate of Holy Cross founded in the United States by the missionary priest, following the University of Notre Dame and St. Joseph Parish in South Bend. Father Sorin started The Ave Maria magazine to honor Mary, focus on Catholic families and showcase the best Holy Cross Brother Raymond Trottman who now lives at Columba Hall.
