I have to say that everytiime that I have been in there the people have been friendly and very helpful. They are small so they do not stock everything but they are willing to order items for you. Along with Bibles and books they have a lot of decorative and gift items. Prices are comparable to other shops and mail order.

I stopped attending church at the age of 12, my uncle was a pastor and died of cancer. I could not…read moreunderstand why such a horrible thing happened to such an amazing person. Now at the age of 45, I started reading my bible again, and am also reading my dad's bible -- trying to decide what version I like more, and also reading the notes my dad left in his bible. Went to Serendipity to see if they had books to help me understand what I am reading, and was met with open arms, and more guidance than I could ever imagine. Veronica was beyond helpful and more importantly she showed no judgement on how I lost faith as a child and am coming back, even items they didn't have in stock, she pointed me to where to get them online. Will definitely be back! Veronica and Serendipity, thank you for everything you do! I was getting frustrated and unsure if I should continue this but today you showed me that everyone has difficulties and more importantly that there is no judgement, only those willing to help you on your journey. Again, thank you!

The atmosphere inside was very peaceful, they had soothing music playing, perhaps a bit of incense burning and it was well lit and thoughtfully arranged for perusing items. For a relatively compact footprint, I can't imagine that you would have difficulty finding whatever you might need here. In addition, one of the biggest selection of saint cards I've ever seen. Also very Spanish-speaking friendly. I was helped promptly and cordially at checkout. They are in the same small shopping mall as O'Reilly auto parts and a mobile phone shop. You can park on the street or a side lot by O'Reilly's.

They are…read morelocated inside McHenry village, on McHenry Avenue, near East Granger Avenue, along the same side as the drive through dry cleaners. I tagged along with a friend who wanted to purchase Christmas cards to hand out. He ended up getting several bookmarks to give out as gifts too. They had a vast selection of different bookmarks, very well made and in see-through covers to protect. The sales clerk was most cheerful and helpful while assisting us around the store and at the register. She helped us find exactly what we were looking for. They are a little on the pricy side, however they are a non-profit organization, so it is going towards a good cause. I saw a beautiful nativity scene, made of wood that I would just love to own! It had the baby Jesus laying in the manger separately, which I truly appreciate. When I was a child, in our home we always had the baby Jesus inside the drawer near by the nativity scene, until Christmas day, when he was "born". I always got such a kick out of this! Most nativity scenes have the baby attached to the manger, so you cannot separate them. This one is special!

St. Eugene's Cathedral Books&Gifts is an unlikely place to find inspiring gifts. For one thing, the…read moregift shop is challenging to find... though there are interesting sights along the way such as a statuary depiction of Our Lady of Fatima with the children&their sheep. The signage can be confusing. Once you avoid the reserved parking spots, it can be a relatively easy walk. St. Eugene's Cathedral Books&Gifts has a surprisingly large variety of books for its tiny space. They have several booklets of novenas, and an extensive DVD selection. Service is friendly&helpful. What it lacks in space (and easy directions) it makes up for a great selection and amiable people! A cute little nook in Santa Rosa.

We have a myriad of choices: rosaries, books, saint's medals, candles, statues and more! Oftentimes a priest is available to bless that special item after it has been purchased.

Beautiful Orthodox art, huge variety of nesting dolls, Christmas decor, so much to look at I need to go back soon and spend more time there. I found a baptism prayer card, cross and nun nesting doll for my gifts. Some prices were great, very affordable, some items had very high prices that confused me, I assume they were antiques, many items were imported too. Even if you're not of the faith you should still come check this place out. The Orthodox Christmas decor, such as Christmas tree nesting dolls and the beautiful jewelry. There's really something for everyone.

You can browse at your own pace without feeling watched, and any questions you have are answered thoughtfully and without any pressure. Over several visits I've picked up a crucifix for my altar, a statue of Mother Mary, a devotional candle, a cross for above my door, and a gold cross pendant for my necklace. Every purchase has felt right. Don't let the store footprint fool you either. The inventory goes well beyond what's on the floor. You can literally outfit an entire church if you need to. Whatever your Catholic needs are, this place likely has it or can get it. A genuine gem and my go-to for anything faith related in South San Francisco.
