A Way Station for Catholics and the Curious
Yes, we are a bookstore! But we invite Catholic and non-Catholics alike to browse our shelves seeking truth and He Who is Truth itself. Our reading/prayer room and sunporch are great places to sit and seek the information, inspiration and invitation you desire. Come and see.

Yes, we sure enough sell books! Not just Catholic books (although that is our passion); we also stock some of "the classics", both for adults and children.
Not ready to commit? We invite you to settle into one of our couches for a visit with a well-loved book or to make the acquaintance of a new author. "No charge."

Our customers asked "do you carry this?" and pretty soon, our bookstore branched out into other sought-after items.
Lacking all self-control, we also obtain items on the spur-of-the-moment because they are too good to pass up. For instance, hand-crafted olive wood items from the Holy Land. These are few in number so check in frequently to see what's new!
