Rotti Press

The Rotti Press is the only printing press in Pakistan owned by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Karachi.[1]

There is some anecdotal evidence that “Dor Mhoineache Rotti” a Konkani language publication first out in 1915, was published by the Rotti Press.

The press has a long history of publishing books on philosophy, history, religion, education and culture.[2][3][4]

The press currently also publishes the Christian Voice, Karachi an English-language weekly newspaper and a weekly Urdu-language paper Agahi.[5]

In October 2010, the Rotti Press printed two books - Tofah (Gift) and Yasu (Jesus) to be used for Sunday School instruction in Pakistan. Five thousand copies have been printed each for all dioceses nationwide. The books were launched by Archbishop Evarist Pinto of Karachi.[6]
