The Independent Catholic Magazine Limited was founded in 1997 by shareholders, the Dominican Sisters, the Dominican Friars and the Sisters of St Joseph of the Sacred Heart. The Company publishes the magazine Tui Motu InterIslands, an independent Catholic monthly magazine. 

When Pā Henare Tate explained the meaning of Tui Motu, the name of the magazine, he emphasised the connections of tangata, whenua and Atua and the need to stitch them together. "Tuia i runga; tuia i raro; tuia i roto; tuia i waho. Bind all the is above; bind all that is below; bind all that is unseen; bind all that can be seen."

This is expressed in the mandate of the magazine is as follows: 

Tui Motu magazine provides Catholic, as well as ecumenical and inter-faith perspectives and discussion on current issues in church and society. It acknowledges its role in honouring and fostering relationships arising from Te Tiriti o Waitangi. It focuses particularly on issues affecting Aotearoa New Zealand and the Pacific. Its intent is to promote the spirit of the Second Vatican Council, engaging faith and the world through informed, thoughtful comment and discussion for a general readership. The magazine publishes 11 issues per year in print and regular digital postings on social media.
The magazine invites contributions from writers of Catholic and other Christian traditions or faith backgrounds, who can offer our readers insights which resonate with the Gospel as it affects us today. We value diversity and seek contributions which are representative of our church and our society: Māori, Pākehā, Pasifika, other cultures, a range of ages and genders, lay and ordained. We offer feature articles, interviews, reviews, poetry, comment and opinion on theology, spirituality and history, as well as on ecological and social justice.
