In the XIX century there were 12 Christian printing presses in Tamilnadu. The M.E.P fathers felt the need to have a press for their mission so they appealed to the French government to start a press. The French government not only gave permission but also donated the printing machine and ink to start a press. It was Fr.Dupuis M.E.P who started the catholic press in Pondicherry and named it as Mission Press. Fr. Dupuis got printed 125 books, the most significant among them are the Tamil classical books like Thembavani (3.Vols) dictionaries, moral and catechetical books.
