Éditions Fidélité

Éditions Fidélité is a Belgian publishing house belonging to the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits). Founded in 1987, it specialises in Christian spiritual and religious books aimed at readers seeking to nourish their faith and enrich their Christian culture. Its catalogue spans spirituality and prayer, pastoral and liturgical life, social questions, and awakening to faith, and it is known for popular series such as 'Que penser de... ?' and 'Prières glanées'. The origins of Éditions Fidélité go back to the Belgian Jesuit father Fernand Lelotte, who after the Second World War launched the small pocket review 'Foyer Notre-Dame' for members of Marian sodalities. Alongside the review, brochure collections such as 'Convertis du XXe siècle' were very successful. In 1964 the review was renamed 'Fidélité' and, under father Rodolphe de Robiano, opened up to a wider public. Twenty-five years later, in 1989, the collection of books and brochures on spirituality and general Christian culture, the 'Éditions Fidélité', was inaugurated under the direction of father Charles Delhez and Jean Hanotte. Éditions Fidélité works in synergy with the two other publishing houses of the Jesuits in Belgium, Lumen Vitae and Lessius, and also in connection with French houses pursuing the same objectives. In 2014 the three houses merged to give birth to Éditions jésuites, while continuing to publish under their respective names. Its authors include Arcabas, Francis Arinze, Pedro Arrupe, Guy Bagnard, Philippe Barbarin, Julos Beaucarne, Maurice Bellet, Enzo Bianchi, Muriel Blondeau, Rocco Buttiglione, Jean-Yves Calvez, Léon Cassiers, Jean Charlier, Godfried Danneels, Alain Decaux, Didier Decoin, Charles Delhez, Yves Duteil, Sœur Emmanuelle, Gérard Fourez, Jean-Claude Gianadda, Guy Gilbert, Hildegard Goss-Mayr, André Gouzes, Anselm Grün, Tim Guénard, François Houtart, Alain Houziaux, Christian Laporte, Paul Lebeau, André-Mutien Léonard, Benoît Lobet, Chiara Lubich, Jean-Michel Maldamé, Carlo Maria Martini, Joseph Masson, Colette Nys-Mazure, Jean Offredo, Jean-Marie Petitclerc, Timothy Radcliffe, Karl Rahner, Malcolm Ranjith, Michel Remaud, Andrea Riccardi, Gabriel Ringlet, Stan Rougier, Henri Sanson, Michel Schooyans, Christoph Schönborn, Bernard Sesboüé, Jon Sobrino, Herman Van Rompuy and Jean Vanier.
