OCP (also known as Oregon Catholic Press, and originally the Catholic Truth Society of Oregon) is a major publisher of Catholic liturgical music based in Portland, Oregon. The not-for-profit company publishes liturgical music, books, choral collections, hymnals, missals, and support materials serving the universal and multicultural church in English, Spanish, Vietnamese, Korean and Chinese.[1][2][3]

OCP also publishes music for youth and young adults, through its Spirt and Song imprint and religious education materials and academic and inspirational books through its Pastoral Press imprint. It also publishes the Catholic Sentinel, the diocesan newspaper for the Archdiocese of Portland.[4][5][6].

OCP represents well known contemporary Catholic liturgical music composers Dan Schutte, and the other members known as the St. Louis Jesuits (Bob Dufford, John Foley, Tim Manion and Roc O'Connor), Bernadette Farrell, Carey Landry, Michael Joncas, Bob Hurd, Tom Kendzia, and Christopher Walker.[7][8][9]

Along with GIA Publications, OCP is a co owner of OneLicense.net, having merged LicenSingOnline.org with OneLicense.net in January 1, 2017.[10]

Products

Missals (subscription based)

  • Breaking Bread, an annual missal, available with or without weekly readings
  • Today's Missal, a seasonal missal printed 3 times a year, with music in a separate Music Issue
  • Heritage Missal, an annual missal, with a repertoire leaning towards traditional hymns, Latin & chant.
  • Misal de Dia, the Spanish language equivalent to the English seasonal missal Today's Missal.

Hymnals (hardcover, one-time purchase)

  • Glory & Praise, popular hymnal first published by North American Liturgy Resources in the 70's and 80's with Vatican II renewal. OCP purchased North American Liturgical Resources in 1987 and integrated Glory & Praise into its product lineup. In 2015, OCP published Glory and Praise Third Edition, expanding with newer compositions, bi-lingual and Spanish songs that represent the multicultural church today.[11]
