At this time because of coronavirus pandemic, we are not able to open the bookstore around Mass times. However, if you would like to purchase something, please contact the parish office. We can open the store for you or make arrangements for you to purchase the item.
Outside of the pandemic, our bookstore, the Ombrellino Gift Shop, is normally open every Wed-Fri. from 11am to 1pm, before and after the Sat. 5:30 pm Vigil, and Sun. from 10am to 1:30 pm. depending on the availability of volunteers.
We sell Catholic books, Bibles, rosaries, medals, crucifixes, icons, statues, scapulars, holy cards, holy water fonts, bracelets, and other gift items. Plus, chapel veils, glasses, cups, photos, jackets and T-shirts that commemorate and help the Basilica.
We will need volunteers to staff The Ombrellino when we the time comes to re-open it. Please consider this as a future ministry opportunity.
Our abbreviated shift schedule is easy to fit with your choice of weekend Mass. You may choose to serve any of the following:Serve once a month or as often as you like. Training is as easy as working alongside another volunteer for one shift. Help us serve!
