Find books and bookmarks, rosaries and medals, prayer cards and notecards, jewelry and statues, and more in our gift shop! Unique items that are popular in the shop include a pocket size holy card portfolio, bible dry-lighters that work on thin paper, relic cards, and Breviary ribbons. In March, all sterling silver jewelry is 25% off. 

We’re partnering with Diocesan artists to feature unique, hand-crafted items for our shop. In the coming months, look for more Diocesan artists to be added to the collections listed below. 

Our St. Joseph Collection features handmade cards with pictures of our most beloved statues, shrines and prayerful spots on our Campus. These cards are made with prayer by Chaplain & Spiritual Director Fr. David Huemmer. 

The Calligraphy Jewels Collection features items from Custom Indiana Calligrapher & Letterer Julie Weinkauf of Calligraphy Jewels, Westfield. Julie is the creator of our annual Litany of St. Joseph Christmas ornament, as well as the popular Litany of St. Joseph 11x14 photo mat. See examples of all her creative work on Instagram @calligraphy_jewels or Facebook @CalligraphyJewels and find Julie at calligraphyjewels@gmail.com. 

Our latest addition, The Catholic Woodworker Collection offers durable wooden rosaries, pocket rosaries and home altars from Jonathan Conrad’s family owned and operated small business in Westfield. The Catholic Woodworker exists to equip families for battle in the modern world by creating spiritual weapons that inspire a continuous conversion in the hearts of Catholic men and women. See more items on Instagram @thecatholicwoodworker or Facebook @TheCatholicWoodworker.
