About us
Družina Publishing House is Slovenia's main Catholic publisher and the nation's third largest. It has been successfully present on the market since 1952.
The Družina Weekly – our mainstay publication, which has been around for sixty-five years and was the only »opposition« newspaper during the country's socialist period – ranks second in sales among Slovenia's weeklies and first among readers aged between fifty and seventy.

We also publish fifteen periodicals (magazines and journals), aimed at different age groups and covering various areas of interest, such as catechesis, spirituality, history, home, travel, trends, music and entertainment. They comprise Catholic magazines for children and youth Mavrica (Rainbow) and #Najst (#Teen), journals for pastoral workers, church singers and organists Cerkev danes (Church Today) and Cerkveni glasbenik (Church Musician), lifestyle magazine Praznična (Festive), a collection of crosswords, puzzles and entertainment Radovednež (Inquirer), history journals SLO and Zgodovina božjega ljudstva (History of the People of God), as well as translations of the international editions of Magnificat , The Word Among Us (Beseda med nami) and Communio.
