Help fill our Mass book station with beautiful and high-quality stories of faith! Mass can be stressful for parents; having books available can help them keep their little ones focused. Even better? Faith books help children learn about Jesus at their own level while also helping families to feel at home and loved.

We rotate our collection through the liturgical seasons so there is always something new for the kids. Given how frequently they're used, a lot of our books get scuffed up and eventually come apart. Help us keep our collection replenished!

Mass Books

Toys are great for younger children who can quietly cuddle or play with them during Mass or in the nursery. It's a beautiful and simple way to bring the faith to life.
