Saint-Bernard editions are concerned with spreading the Word to the largest number of souls, in order to contribute to the spirituality and catechism for all. This is aptly summed up by: all to Jesus by Mary. All of the works, of a spiritual order, are taken on by the printer, which guarantees the reader a complete harmony between the published contents and the teachings of the Church. Its aim is to help each person to find the path of God, through meditation, prayer, and examples seen in the life of the Virgin Mary and the Saints. It’s why the blessed Virgin Mary is evoked in the Church under the titles: solicitor, helper, carer and mediator.

Le Cormier Editions was founded in Brussels in 1949 by Fernand Verhesen (1913-2009). Poet, essayist and translator, Verhesen was also a great discoverer who significantly contributed to making the French-speaking public aware of Spanish and Latin-American poetry. Also strongly interested in typography, he created and printed it himself on a little printing press – the first Cormier books – and showed, during his life, an equal interest in both the choice of texts, and their physical presentation. This is a philosophy Le Cormier continues to follow today by only publishing four titles per year, edited and published by devoting the greatest care to the production of the actual book. The catalogue of the house distinguishes itself by a large variety of voices and the refusal of orthodoxy ; loyalty to poets of long-standing next to the spirit of discovery. The reader will find numerous Belgian and French authors, as well as important collections of Latin-American poetry.
