Clearance & Sale Items - Over the years we have accumulated various items that, because we have only a few of them – and will not be able to obtain furtther supplies – we are going to discontinue. We have decided to relieve the strain on our inventory and clearance some of these items out. Take a look and see if there is anything there that might interest you. From time to time, we also are able to find limited quantities of religious items that we can obtain at a very reasonable cost, and we then pass these savings on. We do hope you will find somethings you can use.

|

New Books - We are also pleased to announce the publication of two new books we are pleased to provide, both by Fr. Michael Muller, C.SS.R. - Familiar Explanation of Christian Doctrine (A comprehensive and clear Catechism of the Catholic Faith), and Thrice Defined: God's Revealed Truth About Salvation. Below and to the left is a link to Fr. Muller's books, both of which we highly recommend.

|

Religious Medals - There are hundreds of different medals attached to as many different devotions. We are of the belief that all Catholics should wear the Miraculous Medal and the Brown Scapular. Beyond that, many people wear various blessed medals as sacramentals, and as a reflection of their particular devotion. We attempt to provide the sacramental medals we feel most Catholics wish to obtain. Some of these are quite difficult to find (such as the Bl. Anne Catherine Emmerich medals), so take a look at what we have available.

|

Bl. Anne Catherine Emmerich - We did bring a limited number of medals and pictures back (all we could afford!) from our pilgrimage to Germany - check on the Bl. Anne Catherine Emmerich page to see what we have available. There is a very short supply, so order right away if you want something - it is unlikely we will be able to obtain more. While we were in Germany we were privileged to visit the home and resting place of Therese Neumann, the well-known stigmatist. We will be recounting some of our experiences in the forthcoming issue of Catholic News & Commentary.

|

Matrimony Gifts - We have added a page showing some very nice gifts for couples receiving the Sacrament of Matrimony - take a look.

|

High Masses on Video - We now have three High Masses on DVD/VHS, as well as Low Masses in each of the primary vestment colors. We are working on the Mass of the Presanctified (Good Friday), and Holy Saturday Masses as well - and hope to have them completed within the next couple of months. They are beautiful!

|

Excellent Catholic Family Films - A few, terrific, family videos have been added - including 2 films on St. Bernadette. If you haven't seen The Passion of Bernadette, make sure you do! It is a very worthwhile film.
