Fides Publishers Association was born in 1940 under the guidance and control of Father Louis J. Putz, C. S. C., its first president. Father Putz, on the University of Notre Dame faculty, was deeply involved in the Catholic Action movement, widespread in Europe at the time but virtually nonexistent in the United States. This movement had as its goal the active participation of Catholic laypeople in the affairs of a Church, which until that time had been entirely dominated by the clergy. Father Putz hoped to educate the Catholic laypeople through this publishing organization about his new and active role within the Church by putting literature already circulating widely throughout Europe, England, and Canada. The goal of Fides Press was to translate and publish books. Group discussions would form around the community to share what the books meant and how to apply them in one's life.
