Catholic Supply Of St Louis

I stopped in at Catholic Supply on Thursday after work. I am not Catholic and I had never been here before. I wanted to buy someone the little St. Joseph statue that you bury in the yard when you are trying to sell your house for good luck. I walked in and a lady immediately made eye contact and asked if she could help. I told her what I was looking for and she directed me to the shelf. There were numerous varieties of St. Joseph. I chose one, paid, and was on my way. Yay! Pleasant experience all around. I hope St. Joseph works!

I went recently to purchase a gift for my nieces Baptism. I found a cross with a prayer I liked. I went to the counter to get the box. Three sales clerks were standing behind the counter eating donuts and talking. One young lady finally turned to me and asked if I had that helped. I told her I was looking for the box for the cross and she looked up the item number and proceeded to go get it. When she returned she handed the box to me and then walked away without asking if I want to purchase it. I finally had a young lady say she could check me out. She seemed bothered I had taken he away from he donuts and conversation.
I worked in in sales for three years in college and now am a principal of a school. I know how important it is to present a good image to your customers. Perhaps it is just me but it just bothers me that the customer service should be better inside of a Catholic store. I will let my families no not to purchase items from this Catholic Supply. The customer service leaves a lot to be desired.

We needed to buy a baby bible and some children’s books on Catholicism for our baby. This store has it all! For all of your Catholic needs whether attending a baptism or First Communion or even a wedding, this is the one stop shop for it all. I could literally spend hours here and the staff were really nice and helpful.

This is the store to check out if you’re Catholic or buying a gift for a Catholic. There is no better place to find religious themed baptism, first communion, and confirmation presents as well as gifts for holidays and birthdays.
The store has a large inventory and is located in the heart of south city (about 100 yards from Ted Drew’s). I really like their selection of cards. Most of these cards, I have only seen here. There are also a lot of medallions, books (kids and adults), statues, Catholic school uniforms, vestments for priests, etc.
The staff is friendly and willing to help locate what you’re looking for. What I like most about this shop is the variety of unique items one doesn’t normally come across.

I’m wavering between 2 and 3 stars for this one. I hate to say anything negative, because this store does fill a need. But I think it could be called a ‘Christian’ store with a high dose of Catholic things, as opposed to a Catholic store. With the size and layout of the store, I expected great things, but after visiting I. Donnelly’s in Kansas City, I was a little disappointed. It was more like a Mardel’s but with rosaries and stuff for priests and sacraments. Even then, I thought the selection of rosaries and statues was lacking for what they advertise themselves to be. The customer service was definitely lacking; despite a number of employees behind the counter or standing around, not one offered assistance, even when passing them in the aisles. The selection of books and such was less than I was expecting. I attempted to purchase an angel statue, but wanted to examine it first. Apparently, that was a burden for them; the only two they showed me were obviously discolored, which made me very glad I took them out of the box (they were just 8 inch statues).
If I hadn’t been to any other Catholic stores, I might have been more impressed. It also seemed very dark and dreary in areas where you would need light.
The potential is there…

A one sentence summary about this business: this is the best place to get Catholic related supplies: bar none.
This visit happened to be an exceptionally amazing one. I came into the shop to get a few relics and some information for particular saints, especially Saints for healing and weight loss. Boy did I get a lot of information! The lady who assisted me was very helpful and she talked my ear off on the historical backgrounds of the different Saints.
I ended up purchasing a few small statues, one of the blessed Virgin Mary and the Sacred Heart of Jesus, which both were very beautiful, cast in resin and was professionally painted. They were both on sale, which ended me saving a lot of money!
They also have some great sales from time to time. Catch the greeting cards for the holidays after the holidays are over. They will have steep cuts on those types of items. And I have purchased a few rosaries from this establishment, which didn’t cost me as much at all.
I definitely recommend this place for practicing Catholics for their religious needs.

This is really the only Catholic Supply store, that I know of, around the area. I call it the «Catholic Walmart» they have everything you would need for your religious needs. Everytime I have gone here they have always been super nice and very helpful!

Father forgive me, for I have shopped at the Catholic Supply store and liked it. No forgiveness need, I seriously think it is a cool store. You’d be surprised at what you will find.
Any one who is selling their house, shopping here is a must. You’ve heard the myth, that burying Saint Joseph in your front yard upside down expedites the sale. It’s no myth, it has worked for me every time. My first time I was a little embarrassed going in and asking for the Saint you bury to sell your home. However, the staff is use to that question and put me at ease. They have miniatures boxed up with the instructions on how to make Joseph work his magic. He has helped me sell four houses, so I am a believer.
I also buy my Christmas/​Holiday cards here. They have the best selection I have seen. Of course, I am cheap and buy at the post holiday sale for the next year. Their selection of sympathy cards are more true to heart then Hallmark and American Greetings.
If you have a preschooler, check out their story time at 10:00 AM with Georgy on Wednesday. It is a great activity for mommy and child.

One night i was standing in ted drew’s parking lot and looked over and noticed Catholic Supply and said, «Hey, i remember that store when it was down the street closer to another place, let’s go in!». So, myself and a friend of mine went into here and had a looksee. They have a massive selection of items for Catholic’s and Non-Catholic’s. Espically during the holiday’s they have a large, and extensive selection of all things advent, christmas and the holidays. Which to me is pretty cool. During other holidays they also have selections that seem to be pretty good.

If you need anything relating to the Catholic faith, you should come here. This place has a ton of books, dvds and cds in case if you want to learn more about the Catholic faith. Still, there is plenty of stuff for those who are Christian and yet not Catholic, such as statues, knick knacks, cards, art and much more. The staff is friendly, whether you want to chat or be left alone.
If you want to outfit your home for worship or… for other things… you can get a lot of what you need here.
