Books for the mind, the heart, and the soul.
Addressing a Gap in Theological Publishing
Ancient Catholic Press is a Catholic publisher based in the United Kingdom, dedicated to theological publishing that serves the mind, the heart, and the soul. Our books are available online and in print worldwide.
Faith at the Heart of Publishing
Ancient Catholic Press is the publishing imprint of the Ancient Apostolic Catholic Church. We exist to make the riches of the Catholic theological tradition accessible, readable, and alive: for seminarians and scholars, for clergy and laypeople, and for all who seek a deeper encounter with the faith.
Our books are rooted in the apostolic tradition and shaped by the Celtic Christian and Camaldolese Benedictine spirituality of the AACC. We publish works of theology, liturgy, prayer, pastoral ministry, and Catholic formation, books that are both academically serious and practically useful.
Whether you are taking your first steps in prayer, preparing for ordination, or looking for a thoughtful companion to the great works of Catholic theology, Ancient Catholic Press has something for you.

The Rule of St David: Order of St David of Wales
This four-in-one volume offers a complete way of life rooted in Celtic and Benedictine tradition: essays on St David's dying words, the Order of St David's formal Rule, extensive theological companion essays, and a Celtic prayer book structured through daily hours and retreats.
The Eucharist: Source & Summit
This twenty-chapter guide centres on one defining moment: a priest at the altar echoing Christ's words. A thorough, unhurried introduction to Eucharistic theology, built for seminarians and formation candidates, yet rewarding for any serious Catholic reader.
A pastoral exploration of chaplaincy in secular settings, drawing on lived experience to guide chaplains through spiritual care, presence, and ministry beyond church walls. It addresses practical and theological dimensions of chaplaincy work across diverse institutional contexts.
The Divine Office Explained
The Chaplain in the World: Be Present, Listen & Serve
This warm, practical guide introduces beginners to the Divine Office, a form of prayer sustaining the Church for two millennia. It explains its origins, structure, and purpose, then guides readers into practice: praying alone or together, and handling distraction.
