St. Mary’s Basilica Via Assisi Gift Shop

As far as church gift shops go, this is my favorite of anywhere i’ve been. I love checking out unique churches, cathedrals, or basilicas when I travel and I try and find a nice souvenir in the gift shops to bring home. My personal favorites are unique wall crosses which can often be a bit pricey. This gift shop has a wonderful selection of crosses as well as any other relic you could want including necklaces, books, cds, tapestries, peruvian nativity sets, etc., all very well priced. My mother-​in-​law loves stopping in here to see what new art they have gotten in.
Sandy, the gift shop volunteer has become a family friend now and is very sweet and helpful. She can usually tell you the history behind the art and all about the artist.
If you are looking for any religious items, this is the best place to find it and at a great price. When you go in, say «HI» to Sandy for me! :)
