The bookstore is open on Sundays following the 7:30am Mass until 1pm. Any purchases made online can be picked up at the bookstore during those hours, or by request at other times. 

The parish hopes that parishioners will deepen their faith by reading lives of the saints and other books on the teachings of our holy religion. In addition, the bookstore will provide access to important sacramentals such as scapulars and rosaries. Many of the products sold in the bookstore are donated by other parishioners, and all proceeds go to support the parish's mission for the salvation of souls.
