Veritas In Newry Description
Veritas is Ireland’s leading religious publisher and retailer. We publish over 40 books each year in the areas of theology, scripture, prayer, spirituality, parenting, counselling, children’s issues, social commentary and liturgical resource. We also publish religious education texts for primary and post-primary schools, which are used throughout Ireland, as well as in Scotland.
In addition to our strong publishing profile, we also specialise in retail, and proudly present ourselves as Ireland’s foremost religious retailer, with stores nationwide: Abbey Street and Blanchardstown in Dublin, Belfast, Cork, Derry, Ennis, Letterkenny, Monaghan, Naas, Newry and Sligo. We also have a store in Lourdes.
Owned by the Irish Catholic Bishops’ Conference, Veritas’ primary function is to serve the needs of the Irish Church.
Our History
Veritas’ origins lie with the Catholic Truth Society of Ireland, which was founded in 1899 to publish and distribute a range of religious material to the Irish people. In 1928, Veritas branched out into retail and opened a store on Lower Abbey Street, Dublin, where it sold religious artefacts and pamphlets published by the Catholic Truth Society. The company expanded by distributing pamphlets published in England and the United States. In the 1930s and 1940s, Veritas supplied church vestments, as well as engaging in the travel business, by organising trips to Lourdes, Fatima and Knock.
In the 1960s, the Communications Centre was founded in Booterstown by the Irish Catholic Bishops’ Conference, under the directorship of Fr. Joe Dunn. It came about as a response to the developments in media which were changing the ways that Irish people were receiving their information. In 1969, it merged with the Catholic Truth Society to become the Catholic Communications Institute of Ireland, later being renamed Veritas Communications.
Veritas Publications came into existence in 1969, its first title being Patrick in His Own Words by Bishop Joseph Duffy.
Between 1979 and 1988, retail outlets were opened in Cork, Ennis, Sligo, Letterkenny and Stillorgan. The first Veritas store in Northern Ireland was opened in Derry in November 2001. Since 2004, we have opened a store in the Blanchardstown Centre in Dublin, one in Monaghan incorporating a Christian Art Gallery, and stores in Belfast, Naas and Newry. In 2011, we were pleased to open our first store outside Ireland, in the town of Lourdes, France.

Stumbled across this prayer while looking for something else and thought I would share!
Month of The Holy Rosary 'Heaven Sent My Life Through the Rosary' In this book, Fr Gabriel Harty tells his story in relation to the Rosary, the cultivation of his lifelong devotion to it, and the healing and grace it holds for all who partake in it.
After serving as a chaplain and parish curate for some years, Gabriel M. Harty OP made the decision to devote his life to the service of the Mother of God in whatever way she wished. His search led him to the Dominican Order, and he was professed a friar of the Order of Preachers in 1950. Since then, Fr Gabriel has directed all his energies to the apostolate of the Rosary. This work is a wonderful testament to that apostolate
Through this collection of stunning images, we get a rare insight into the daily life of the community of Benedictine monks based in Glenstal Abbey, Co. Limerick. From the sacred liturgical celebrations to the buzz at Glenstal Abbey school, to the silence and prayer of the guesthouses and retreats, and the beauty of the woods, gardens and farm, this book captures a unique way of life. The presence of a praying community gives Glenstal its unique character, and in this book the monks share in their own words the mysticism and rhythm of their lives as they strive to live according to the Rule of St Benedict and the precepts of the Gospel.
This beautiful book is a collection of meditations using poems, reflections and photographs that all stem from Sr Stan and Síle Wall working together in the Sanctuary in Dublin, where thousands of people come every year seeking opportunities to meditate, to become more present, more attentive, more aware and more mindful. This little gem of a book is just another opportunity assisting people to access their unique inner landscape, and the central theme is that everyday experiences can be sacred when we take the time to stop, pay attention and encounter a place, person, situation or object, in a fresh way, as though experiencing it for the first time. The images are all photographs taken by people connected to the Sanctuary, going about their ordinary daily activities and, in a moment in time experiencing an awakening of their senses.

HELLO OCTOBER - Time is passing so quickly and this month will be busy in our calendar. Take a moment to appreciate the beauty of the changing season that will happen this month. The beautiful colours of the leaves as they fall from the trees, the wind blowing the leaves in swirls, the acorns and chestnuts, the fresh bite in the temperature in the air. It's definitely a beauty within itself.
