Oregon Catholic Press (OCP, originally the Catholic Truth Society of Oregon) is a publisher of Catholic liturgical music based in Portland, Oregon. It published the newspapers Catholic Sentinel and El Centinela; both papers have been discontinued effective October 1, 2022.[1][2][3]
The not-for-profit company publishes liturgical music, books, choral collections, hymnals, missals, and support materials serving the universal and multicultural church in English, Spanish, Vietnamese, Korean and Chinese.[4][5]
OCP also publishes music for youth and young adults, through its Spirit and Song imprint and religious education materials and academic and inspirational books through its Pastoral Press imprint. It also publishes the Catholic Sentinel, the diocesan newspaper for the Archdiocese of Portland.[6][5][7] On July 21, 2022, the Archdiocese of Portland and Oregon Catholic Press issued a joint news release announcing that both the Catholic Sentinel and El Centinela would close on Oct. 1.[8]
Along with GIA Publications, OCP is a co-owner of OneLicense.net, having merged LicenSingOnline.org with OneLicense.net on January 1, 2017.[12]

As part of the COVID-19 pandemic, the company received $3 million in a federally backed small business loan from Zions Bank as part of the first round of the Paycheck Protection Program. The company stated it would allow them to retain 157 jobs. The loan was subsequently forgiven.[13]
