Editorial Mensajero

Editorial Mensajero is a Spanish publishing house founded in 1915 by the Society of Jesus and integrated into the Grupo de Comunicación Loyola. Based in the Basque Country, it publishes general-interest books in Castilian Spanish and Basque, the latter under its Mezulari imprint. Its catalogue spans religious formation, spirituality, and a growing list of children's and young adult literature. Among its flagship publications are the magazine "Mensajero" (published since 1865 and Jesuit-directed since 1883), the "Taco Calendario del Corazón de Jesús" (since 1886), the "Biblia de Nuestro Pueblo" (the Alonso Schökel "Biblia del Peregrino," published since 2006), and the "Eco Calendario," a tear-off calendar focused on environmental awareness and sustainability. In recent years the house has expanded into children's and young adult literature with two major collections: "Creciendo en la fe" (religious and spiritual formation) and "El planeta de los sueños." It also distributes books published by the University of Deusto. Its mission is to contribute to the human and Christian formation of people through all kinds of periodical and monographic publications, printed or in other media, and to provide editorial services to individuals and entities, particularly institutions and works of the Society of Jesus and the Church, with special attention to the dissemination and updating of Ignatian spirituality, service of faith and promotion of justice, and the family. The current director general is José Manuel Díaz Osés, and the director of the magazine Mensajero is Marta Barrio Hernáez.

Editorial Mensajero was founded in 1915 by the Society of Jesus and is integrated into the Grupo de Comunicación Loyola. Its origins are tied to the long-running magazine "Mensajero," which has been published since 1865 and directed by the Jesuits since 1883. The house also publishes the "Taco Calendario del Corazón de Jesús," in print since 1886. Over the decades it has built a catalogue of general-interest books in Castilian Spanish and, under the Mezulari imprint, in Basque. In 2006 it published the "Biblia de Nuestro Pueblo" (the Alonso Schökel "Biblia del Peregrino"). More recently it launched the "Eco Calendario," a tear-off calendar aimed at environmental awareness and sustainability, and expanded into children's and young adult literature with the collections "Creciendo en la fe" and "El planeta de los sueños." It also distributes books published by the University of Deusto. The publishing house remains active under the Loyola Communication Group, continuing its mission of human and Christian formation through periodicals and books.
