OSV Kids is on a mission to champion the Catholic Church by helping children learn about, live and love the Catholic Faith. Through our beautiful line of children’s books and our engaging monthly activity booklet, OSV Kids helps young ones form a relationship with Jesus Christ that will serve as a foundation for the rest of their lives.
OSV Kids seeks to form a new generation of Catholics by introducing them to the truth, beauty and goodness of the Catholic Faith. OSV Kids is the brand parents, teachers and pastors can trust to help them inspire and educate our precious young ones, who are the future of the Church.
OSV’s mission is to help Catholics fulfill their calling to discipleship, strengthen their relationship with Christ, deepen their commitment to the Church, and contribute to its growth and vitality in the world. Founded over 100 years ago by Fr. John Francis Noll, OSV seeks to spread knowledge about the Catholic faith through periodicals, books, and parish resources. Today, OSV is the largest provider in church envelopes and one of the largest Catholic publishers in the world. Learn more about our mission.
