Salesian Father Giuseppe Costa has been named the new director of the Libreria Editrice Vaticana, the Vatican’s publishing house, replacing the outgoing director Father Claudio Rossini, who held the post for five years.
In a press release, Father Rossini was praised for his “professionalism” in making known the messages of the Pope and the Magisterium of the Holy See. In gratitude for his service, he received the award “Pro ecclesia et Pontifice” from Vatican Secretary of State, Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone.
The new director, Father Costa, has “vast experience in the field of publishing,” the statement indicated.
