Minha Biblioteca Católica

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Minha Biblioteca Católica (en: My Catholic Library) is a Brazilian publisher, aimed at the Catholic public. The company distributes the content through a subscription club.

History

[edit]

Planning

[edit]

The club emerged in December 2017, in Dois Irmãos, Rio Grande do Sul, from the idea of three friends — among them producer Matheus Bazzo — who had a common interest: the search for quality Catholic books.[1] With this, my Catholic Library was conceived, operating as a subscription club with monthly sending of works to the public.

First step

[edit]

The first shipment was made in January 2018 and there was quickly a high demand. In the first month, subscriptions beat the stock, requiring the closure of the site for two days.

It has printed more than three million copies,[2] including spirituality classics, reissues of religious publications and unpublished works in the country.

Statistics

[edit]

Subscribers

[edit]

Since its inception, the company has counted 150,000 subscribers[3] and has printed more than three million copies. Monthly, boxes are sent with a book related to the Catholic faith, support readings and other items. Today, the Library has 70 employees.

It is the largest religious signature club in Brazil.[1]

Printing plant

[edit]

The base is located in Porto Alegre, with the logistics service being operated in Dois Irmãos.[4]

Works

[edit]

Books

[edit]

Among the published publications are Story of a Soul, by Teresa of Lisieux, Theology of the Body, by St. John Paul II, and Interior Castle, by Teresa d'Ávila.

Series

[edit]

In 2019, the company produced the series Sons of Cister, about a group of Cistercian monks in the interior of Rio Grande do Sul.

Video service

[edit]

The production was the kickoff to the creation of Lumine TV, an on-demand video service aimed at Catholic audiences.[5]
