Since 1952, Scepter Publishers has guided ordinary Christians toward sainthood – right where they are.

You don't need to retreat from the world to be a saint. God calls you to sanctity through your everyday activities: your career, family life, friendships, and daily routines.

Scepter's publications show you how to order your ordinary life toward God.

Our books help you:

• Transform work into prayer
• Offer rest as worship
• Thrive as a human being
• Maintain constant awareness of God's presence
• Find genuine happiness with God in this life and the next

Our Founders

Fr. Joseph Muzquiz (1912-1983) was one of the first three men ordained as priests for Opus Dei (along with Blessed Alvaro del Portillo and José María Hernández Garnica). He worked to establish Opus Dei around the world and was sent by St. Josemaría Escrivá to the United States in 1944. The cause for his canonization was opened by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston, where he died.

Fr. Dick Rieman (1925-2019) was born in Chicago and served as a Navy flyer in World War II. After the war he studied at DePaul University, where he met Fr. Joseph Muzquiz and Salvador Ferigle, who had just arrived in Chicago from Spain to begin Opus Dei’s apostolic work in the United States. He joined Opus Dei in 1950, becoming the first member from the United States. He went on to help start the Heights Study Center, which later became The Heights School in Potomac, MD, and spent the last 40 years of his life as chaplain of the Montrose School for Girls in Medfield, MA.
