In an interview published by Catholic World News, Fessio stated that one of the main objectives of Ignatius Press was to print English translations of contemporary European theologians.

[6] In October 2014, leading up to the Synod on the Family, Ignatius Press sent over 100 copies of a book countering suggestions to permit divorced and civilly remarried Catholics receive communion.

In addition to publishing the works of Pope John Paul II, Ignatius Press has published newer works by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (later Pope Benedict XVI), Peter Kreeft, Scott Hahn, Joseph Pearce, Christopher Derrick, Michael D. O'Brien, and Mike Aquilina.

In 2014, Ignatius Press entered into a distribution agreement with the Catholic Truth Society to "bring the famous CTS bookstands to North America".

[8] Additionally, it entered a collaboration with the Pope Benedict XVI Institute for Sacred Music and Divine Worship (Archdiocese of San Francisco) and Lighthouse Catholic Media to publish an annual congregational missal that is fully consistent with the directives of the apostolic constitution Sacrosanctum Concilium.
