Listed below (in order of the first year they were published) are the publications that Subiaco has produced over the years. The fire of 1927 destroyed many items from our archives, but what we retain is included below. Only The Abbey Message has been digitally made available online with editions beginning with the summer of 2004. You can find archives of those editions by clicking HERE. 
 

Subiaco Guide [1902-1992]

Catalog with academic, religious, admissions, and general information about our education ministry.

Mercurious Sublacensis [1906-1911]

The first regular publication at Subiaco had been Mercurius Sublacensis (Subiaco Mercury), a monthly newsletter in German for circulation among the monks, both at home and on the missions, which began in March 1906. A news item in the first issue was the announcement of the naming of Msgr. John B. Morris, Vicar General of the Diocese of Nashville, as the third Bishop of Little Rock. The classical tradition the Swiss monks brought with them from Einsiedeln Abbey is evident in the choice of the title (Mercury is the messenger god) and occasional references to the Latin poets. The name of this first publication, which also translates as Subiaco Messenger, would leave its mark on Abbot Paul's later publication, The Abbey Message.

Der Klausner von Subiaco [1911-1919]

In January 1911, the title of Mercurius was changed to Der Klausner von Subiaco (The Subiaco Hermit), connecting with the Einsiedeln (Hermitage) tradition. 

Vacation Letter Box [1906-1911]

A publication (in English) for students of the Abbey school was begun by Fr. Benedict Borgerding in the summer of 1906, Vacation Letter Box. This was intended as a vehicle for students to keep in contact with each other during the summer vacation. The students were encouraged to send letters to Subiaco to be joined with a letter from the school, printed, and distributed by mail. A few stalwarts responded, enough to keep this effort going through 1911, after which it was discontinued.

Cadet Days [1917-1921]

With the beginning of school year 1917, a cadet corps was established at Subiaco College (Academy) as a patriotic response to the entry of the U.S. into World War I the previous April. The Corps began to issue this newsletter on activities within the Corps.

Bulletins [1917-present]

Listed news and upcoming events for faculty and monks related to the Academy, Retreat House, and Development. 

The Periscope [1921 (except 1930 when it was not published)-present]

In 1921 the Cadet Days was changed to a paper for the entire school with the name The Periscope. It ceased publication for the year 1930 and then began again in 1931. The Periscope has been the school paper ever since. In recent years it has transitioned from a regular print edition to a now digital-only publication distributed once or twice a year. 

Waldgloecklein [1923-1924]

Apparently nothing replaced Der Klausner von Subiaco when it ceased publication at the end of 1919. The introductory issue of a new organ for community news appeared at Christmas, 1923, with the name Waldgloecklein (Little Forest Bell). This went through a few issues, but ceased publication in less than a year. It was the last Subiaco publication in the German language.

The Letter Box [1924-1927]

In the summer of 1924, a project was attempted to revive the previous Vacation Letter Box, but now entitled The Letter Box, The publication was expanded to incorporate information from and about graduates.

Pax [Subiaco Academy Yearbook: 1927; 1946-2019]

The Subiaco Academy Annual given to all students each spring.

The Abbey Message [1940-present]

At the time of Abbot Paul Nahlen's election in 1939, the only Subiaco publication for
the previous fifteen years had been the school newspaper. There had never been a publication for regular communication of the Abbey's spiritual philosophy, its news or its needs. This had been missed particularly in the aftermath of the disastrous 1927 fire and during the stresses of the Great Depression. Abbot Paul felt it was time to begin to connect and communicate with friends and the wider world. The first issue of The Abbey Message, May 1940, was a small pamphlet containing a letter from the Abbot, a picture of the community members, and basic information about Benedictinism and Subiaco. By the fall of 1940, The Abbey Message had taken the form of a tabloid newspaper; in 1958 the present magazine format was adopted. Today it is printed and mailed four times a year, with a digital edition widely distributed.
