Whether you prefer print or digital, we are the first port of call for Catholics who value high-quality journalism. With a global perspective and a deep understanding of the issues that matter most, we provide the clarity and depth needed to keep you informed.

Founded in London in 1888, The Catholic Herald has a proud and storied history that spans over 130 years. From the earliest days, we’ve been at the forefront of Catholic journalism, witnessing and reporting on some of the most defining moments in both Church and world history.

We broke the news of Pope Pius XII’s death in 1958—one of our most notable scoops—and have since covered countless other pivotal events. Throughout the years, we’ve been the publication of choice for influential figures like Hilaire Belloc, Graham Greene and JRR Tolkien, who read our pages while working on The Lord of the Rings.

From the bustling streets of Victorian London to today’s digital age, we remain steadfast in our mission: to provide faithful, authoritative, and engaging coverage that connects Catholics to the issues that matter most. Join us as we continue to uphold the tradition of excellence that has made us one of the world’s most trusted Catholic publications.
