It has friendly service, in English and Spanish, and whatever you are looking for, you will find here. They sell religious books mostly, in English or Spanish for young and old, but they also have artifacts, CD's, DVD's, statues of all sizes, frames, prayer books, rosary's (which can also be ordered in bulk), etc. etc. etc. And all at fair prices! I am so happy I stopped by to support this shop & will definitely be returning when I need anything else.

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!

Noelle's Yelp Notebook 2021…read more Quarantine Chronicles - May 2021 Ave Maria is an essential shop for Catholics. Long ago you couldn't take photos in the shop but I spoke with one of the clerks and they said it's fine to take photos but they still haven't taken the old sign where it said photos are not allowed. In the advent of the internet and social media the only way businesses can survive is by customers sharing photos online. I've been coming to this shop for over 30 years with my family. The shop is specific for Catholics. They have all materials that Catholics may be interested in such as books for children, books for adults, dvds, musical cds, gifts, crucifixes, bottles for holy water, candles, gift sets for first holy communion, confirmation gifts, cards for all occasions, prayer cards, the selection is amazing! They even have garments for Priests, Deacons and things you might need for inside the church but that is separate from the main shopping area. Customer service is good on the phone and in person. The only problem is they only had two staff on a very busy Saturday. They require masks to be worn inside due to the pandemic. Upon entering you are required to sanitize your hands and the sanitizer station. Selection was a little slim on communion and confirmation items as many children are having their first communion and confirmation. I was still able to get the items I needed. One thing I love is their greeting card section - it's super extensive, for all occasions. This is a one stop shop for all your Catholic needs. A favorite place of mine to shop for sure :) Noelle's Notes A great resource for all things Catholic. They are taking pandemic precautions- must wear a mask to shop and sanitize hands upon entering. They are closed on Sundays. If you cannot get here another great catholic resource is the religious gift shop at Our Lady of Peace in Santa Clara (not far from Great America and Mission College).

I wanted to pick up a couple of scapulars, St Michael cards and a St Michael book for my son's school project and they had many children's book options. They had a good variety of books overall and it was so organized and neat inside. The store was well stocked and clean! Staff was extremely warm, friendly and so welcoming! They carry rosaries, figurines, art work, cards, wind chimes, music, books and many other items that would be great gifts overall and if you are looking for something to celebrate the Sacraments. Now that I know this store is here, I will be sure to frequent it! Parking is very easy to find as there are plenty of them right in front of the store.

Her knowledge is vast and deeply rooted in culture. If you're like me and you are very picky about where you purchase your spiritual goods, this place is THE REAL DEAL and not a place where you find yourself questioning the authenticity of the shopkeeper's spirit and energy. I love how this shop has an essence and acknowledgment of light and dark energies and that which lies between. That gives it a very genuine feel... you won't find that "good vibes only" type of faked energy here. You will find meaningful depth in every nook and cranny you look into in this store. Some of these items feel like they came from another time. There is the most incredible collection of Santa Muerte goods here. Also, the best veladoras preparadas. Good collection of minerals/crystals, smudging herbs, evil eye merchandise, books, string bracelets, bells, curandero oils/herbs/incenses/aguas espirituals, and tarot/oracle cards. Truly one of a kind place and you can easily spend an hour here and not even make it through one full aisle. They even have a gorgeous altar with candles in the back and they have a sweet little dog here also!
