      ab: This article focuses on the history and legacy of Sheed & Ward, a Catholic publishing house founded in 1926 by Maisie Ward and Frank Sheed, which celebrates its centennial in 2026. The Sheedwardians, as the couple called themselves, played a significant role in fostering Catholic intellectual revival and ecumenical dialogue in the 20th century, publishing influential Catholic authors and promoting progressive stances on issues such as race and social justice. Despite changes in ownership since 1973, Sheed & Ward continues to publish works that engage contemporary Catholic thought, maintaining the founders’ mission to provide accessible, thoughtful discourse on faith and culture. The article also highlights the couple’s personal backgrounds, their impact on Catholic publishing, and their nuanced political and theological positions.
