Our Mission

Tau is one of the last publishing houses in the country that focuses entirely on Franciscan works. We have been publishing Franciscan books since August of 2002 and currently have over 125 active titles. 

Our ongoing mission is to publish new Franciscan works as well as reprint inspirational Franciscan books that have gone out of print, and to make these resources available to anyone that wants to experience the Franciscan charism.  

We have never looked at the Franciscan publishing arm of Tau as a money making venture but more so as an important ministry to the Franciscan community at large. 

As we look to the future we want to continue to publish new works, as well as bring back worthwhile titles that have gone out of print. In addition to this, we also will be donating books to religious groups, parishes, secular Franciscan fraternities as well as those who are not able to afford to purchase our books.  

We are extremely grateful to everyone that has helped us survive the past 20 years. Without this additional support we would not have been able to accomplish what we have during this time. Have we made mistakes? I will be the first to admit that to be a true statement. We will do our very best to keep moving forward, so there will always be a place where someone that wants to learn about the spirituality of St. Francis, St. Clare and all the Franciscans that came after them will have a place to find those resources.
