Generations Religious Gifts

Generations is one of my favorite places to be. The variety and huge selection are tremendous! They have something for every occasion, a large book section, and great devotional items. The employees are always so kind. I come here for all my religious needs.

Generations Religious Gifts is a large Catholic store that contains contains Catholic statues, sacred images, Rosaries, Sacramental gifts, Cards for occasions, Posters, etc. Located in a strip mall with modest parking, you can find a choice among many gift items. Staff in the store are friendly and can guide you in picking a good gift. As an example, when we were at the store, one of staff helped a customer pick a Bible among the range of Bible versions (Catholic and Protestant) that they carry. Although the store carries pre-Vatican II theology books from publishers such as TAN and Loreto, the store also carries Protestant books and many books oriented towards Vatican II doctrine from publishers such as Ignatius and Our Sunday Visitor. This can be very very confusing - check if the book has an imprimatur (only Catholic books have an imprimatur) or ask the store owner if the book is Catholic or not. The store has a section for clearance/discount books, but the discounted books are Protestant and Vatican II oriented. This is one of the few stores that devotes a section to G.K Chesterton, an English writer, poet, philosopher and staunch defender of the Traditional pre-Vatican II Catholic faith. His books titled 'Heretics', 'Orthodoxy' and 'Eugenics and other evils' are a must read. Before leaving, we bought some gift items at the this store, the scholarly 'A History of the Catholic Church' by Msgr. Philip Hughes, as well as the beautiful Stations of the Cross poster lithograph (traditional artwork from Italy). Checkout was easy. Pleasant shopping experience. + In JMJ +

Poor hours. Open at 9:30am and closes at 5pm? When is a working person suppose to shop? I would never make a special trip back downtown on a Saturday. Amazon and online shopping will have to fill the massive void. Suggest they try staying open to 7pm at least one night a week.

Very helpful personnel. Great selection of Catholic sacramentals, gifts, Bibles etc. It's now the only Catholic source in town, and they make it worth your while to go. Wish they had more and better prayer mantillas, though. The ones featured here loom more like kids'; lots of Catholic women are beginning again to cover their heads during Mass.
