Catholic Today is the newspaper for the Archdiocese of Birmingham. The editor in chief is Archbishop Bernard Longley and it is the primary communication vehicle of this large diocese.
Catholic Today is a Catholic faith newspaper and is published monthly, 32pp, full colour and tabloid. It offers its 20,000 readers a rich and eclectic mix of feature, articles, columns, profiles, interviews, comment and catechesis.
Catholic Today is a platform from which Archbishop Longley speaks to the Catholic faith community month after month.
“Catholic Today offers comment and reflection on the kind of issues which impact living the Christian life in our world today.”
Catholic Today was launched in February 2005 and has been well received in the diocese. The newspaper captures the diverse, varied and rich Catholic life within the diocese.
Catholic Today reaches into the 250 schools in the diocese and is a way for each school to celebrate the Catholic life within the school and offer a window into the great work that goes on in our schools day after day.
Catholic Today costs only 50p a copy. It is available also by subscription and delivered directly to your door for £8.99 per year.
Walk with Me is a prayer and scripture journey for the seasons of Advent, Lent and Easter.
Also available is an A4 Eastertide Calendar, only 20p (minimum order of 25).
The overarching theme of Walk with Me varies from season to season. However each edition is underpinned by the power and grace of the basic gospel message and an opportunity to proclaim the truths of our faith which gives life: the incarnation, the death and resurrection and the power of the Holy Spirit coming at Pentecost.
Walk with Me is printed as A6 booklet which contains a brief reflection, either on the scripture reading of the day or on a catechetical theme.
The beauty about Walk with Me is the size of the booklet (its an ideal fit for a pocket or handbag), the price, costing only £1 (50p if more than 25 ordered) and its approach, it is written in a simple and accessible style.

The title Bible Alive captures eloquently our goal, purpose and mission. The Bible is living, active and therefore dynamic and alive (Hebrews 4:12). From the Bible we draw life, strength and power to live the Christian life. The directors of Alive Publishing and its editorial staff have known in their own lives, through the power of the Holy Spirit, the word of God coming alive in a real and dynamic way. Their experience rooted in many years of study and reflection is that immersing ourselves in the treasure which is Sacred Scripture is life changing and fundamental in living the Christian life.
Bible Alive is a Catholic scripture magazine which draws its strength, inspiration and direction from the liturgical cycle.
“The Bible is living, active and therefore dynamic and alive (Hebrews 4:12). From the Bible we draw life, strength and power to live the Christian life.”
The essence of Bible Alive are the daily reflections. They are written in an accessible and warm style inviting the reader to penetrate and plumb the depths of the scripture reading of the day.
The lead features cover a wide array of subjects, topics, profiles and interviews on matters relating to living the Christian faith today.
The essays and teaching are drawn from the rich teaching of Vatican II, the Cathechism of the Catholic Church, the writings of Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI.
Our saint profile affords us the opportunity to explore in depth and detail the life witness of either a beati, a canonized saint or a hero of faith.
Alive Publishing is committed to publishing books and resources which inform, educate, enlighten and challenge. Our range of published titles so far is an ecletic mix of witness, autobiography, catechetical books on subjects as wide and diverse as: the Eucharist, the dignity of the human person, the role of the Holy Spirit and on the evangelization of culture.
