In 1912, it became a monthly magazine. In 1964, a new building was built in the town of Liguori, Missouri.
The Liguorian is a brief, but exemplary, story of what St. Alphonsus Liguori did in his missionary work in Naples, Italy in the 18th century.
Its purpose was to make a moral statement. The statement was a simple one: a well-formed conscience helps individuals respond to God in a more meaningful way. The Liguorian is a brief, easy to read, and memorable piece of literature that embodies the spirit of St. Alphonsus.
The Liguorian is accompanied by a number of other publications, such as the pastoral guide he wrote. It is only a small part of the many works published by the Saint. His writings are arguably the second most popular book in the Bible.
