The not-for-profit company publishes liturgical music, books, choral collections, hymnals, missals, and support materials for the Catholic Church in English, Spanish, Vietnamese, Korean and Chinese. "Spirit and Song", a division of OCP, publishes contemporary worship music for the Life Teen youth market.[1] OCP also publishes the Catholic Sentinel, the diocesan newspaper for the Archdiocese of Portland.
