Forty guests assembled in the Fireplace Room at Villa Antonio Winery in Hillsboro, MO, to commemorate the seventy-fifth anniversary of Liguori Publications on October 21.



The auspicious occasion brought together current and former employees, their spouses, and Redemptorists – including those who ministered directly in the “apostolate of the pen” over the years.

A congratulatory message by Fr. Stephen Rehrauer, Provincial Superior of the Denver Province, was shown on electronic media, and Fr. John Fahey Guerra, Provincial Vicar, offered the final benediction at the event.



The guests enjoyed one another’s company, good memories, a sumptuous dinner, and prayers in gratitude to God for Liguori’s outreach since its founding on October 23, 1947.

May our Lord enlighten us to build on Liguori’s past in looking to a future that will persist in spreading the Good News of the Gospel far and wide.
