Libros en Espanol
We don’t claim fluency, but we are willing to learn. We are also excited to see this ministry flourish, and want to play a small part in its success. As the demographics of our diocese change, we are committed to helping serve the changing community. If you need assistance in finding resources for liturgy, prayer, or spiritual growth for your Spanish-speaking members, contact De Sales Catholic Bookstore.
Some publishers have begun already to recognize the emerging needs of our Spanish-speaking brothers and sisters. Contact us if you are looking for Spanish resources from Liturgical Training Publications, Liturgical Press, Liguori Publications, or the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. If you have a specific title in mind, let us know. If we don’t have it in stock, we will check to see if it’s available to us. Remember that our discounts apply whenever possible.
Faith Formation, Catechists, and Youth Ministry
Because De Sales Catholic Bookstore is committed to providing quality Catholic materials to our customers, we take pride in our relationship especially with catechists. Our owners and manager have experience as catechists, and are constantly looking for new, exciting, and valuable resources for passing on the faith.
With the rising interest Whole Community Catechesis, De Sales Catholic Bookstore wants to be a resource for your parish. We can help you find materials to inform, educate, and foster a deeper spirituality in your parishioners. We strive to offer you the best possible deal. Contact us with the titles you want, or let us offer suggestions.
Check with our staff to see if we can save you money on your next order for your textbooks and teaching resources. Also check with De Sales Catholic Bookstore to find supplemental resources, including prayer books, coloring books, activity guides, church documents, posters, and prayer cards.
Youth ministry is an important part of faith formation, as well, and we are rapidly developing our line of resources for youth ministry and youth ministry leaders. Let us help you find the right materials to develop the faith life of young people. We work with St. Mary’s Press, the leader in Catholic Youth Ministry resources, as well as other publishers to provide exciting and helpful products for your ministry’s needs.
We also carry music for your ministry’s needs. Whether you are looking for reflective music to use on retreats, songs for children, music ideas for youth-led liturgies, or printed resources, we can help. Just ask our friendly staff.
Imprinting
Due to costs, we are no longer able to provide our imprinting services for free. We bill parishes for all items (less discount) and applicable fees. All imprints incur a fee of $4.00 per plate for set-up. ("John Doe" and "Jane Doe" are two distinct plates.) We encourage parishes imprint the same text on all items. For example: Class of 2007.
Because of our equipment's limitations, we can only accurately imprint one line of text on any item. To ensure quality imprinting, we require at least two weeks to imprint for groups and parishes (longer in some seasons). We encourage groups to order early, as some items are not stocked in quantity.
Not all bindings can be imprinted. Due to damage risks, we no longer imprint zippered closures or personal size items. Check with our staff for your best options.
