In 1948, Ignatius DiGiovanni opened the first Catholic bookstore in Phoenix, AZ. Business grew and he was able to expand to a larger store, serving more customers and churches. Ignatius named his company Autom to honor St. Augustine and St. Thomas. Many kind and committed people have participated in the fantastic growth of Autom, helping to bring Catholic and church supplies to people around the world. Without their support and effort, the Autom of today would be only a dream. The five DiGiovanni family members, along with Autom's managers, are leading the new Autom, mindful of the past, but bold enough to secure a place in the future.
