Where
is De Sales Catholic Bookstore?
We are located at 210-J West Sunshine Street in Springfield, in a
shopping center known as Sunshine Corners. Our store can be
found just behind McAlister's Deli, next to Computers Unlimited.
What
is De Sales Catholic Bookstore?
We are proud of our Catholic heritage. We offer books, gifts,
music, DVDs, liturgical resources, Bibles, and more from a Catholic
tradition. We also gladly special order books of all kinds,
as well as church goods, including candles, chalices, metalware,
vestments, and other church resources.
Because we are one of the only liturgical goods stores in the area, we
are happy to help our Episcopal, Lutheran, and other fellow liturgical
churches find the best possible (and available) resources.

Lent Resources Today!
Remember,
You Are Dust...
Ashes
available NOW!
Regardless
of what part of February Ash Wednesday falls, it always seems to sneak
up on me. About a month before,
someone will call and make a request for some Lent book or ashes, and
I'll suddenly remember it is, in fact, time to begin preparing the
store (and myself!) for Lent.
We have been
fortunate enough to find a supplier of
Ashes for groups of 100, 200, and 500 people. As we have had more and
more non-Catholic congregations taking part in Ash Wednesday, we are
encouraging churches to place their orders early for Ashes. Contact us
by phone or email
as soon as possible.
A
GREAT Parish Resource!
Keeping
the Seasons Lent & Easter
One of our favorite distributors developed
a product for Advent that is ideally suited to parish life. Liturgy
Training Publications (LTP) created Keeping the Seasons under a printed
form until 2009. At that time, they unveiled a CD-Rom based program
that is great for bilingual communities. In this one-of-a-kind
resource, parishes can print out exactly what they need for each week
of the Lenten season, through Easter! Whether you print to include in
your bulletin, or if you provide handouts for PSR or your small faith
groups, this is an ideal resource!

Parishes offer something
special to new members
For the last several years, I have seen a drastic increase in the
number of individuals converting to the faith. I have also noticed a
larger number of parishes offering a small gift to each individual or
family entering the Church on Holy Saturday at the Easter Vigil.
Easter
Candles for Church & Congregation
Taking
orders for Paschal Week 2010
Many of our parishes are trying to eke out one more year of their
Paschal candle, if at all possible. We fully understand why, given the
budget crunch all of us are facing. If, however, you cannot wait,
please give us a call and ask us about the current candles available
from our distributors.
Don't forget to ask about the congregation tapers, used as part of the
Easter Vigil, as well. We will now be stocking the shorter, 5 1/4"
candles. As always, we will carry the paper drip protectors (bobeches,
for those who like the lingo!), and can special order longer tapers or
plastic holders, as well (minimum quantities apply to special orders). |
