In November 2023, Commonweal executive director Ellen B. Koneck was named to the advisory board of Liturgical Press, a publishing house and friend of the magazine which aims to “pursue a world transfigured in Jesus Christ through the spirit of Vatican II alive in the Benedictine tradition.” Liturgical Press publishes academic, popular, and devotional material across a variety of subjects, including liturgics, social justice, theology, spirituality, and monasticism. The Minnesota-based publisher is one of the largest Catholic publishing houses in the country, and counts among its publications Give Us This Day, one of the most widely-circulated Catholic devotionals in the English language. Koneck is excited to bring her experience and perspectives to Liturgical Press, and looks forward to developing an ongoing relationship between Commonweal and Liturgical Press.
