Paulist Center Bookstore At Old Saint Mary’s

I’ve been looking for a miracle medallion for awhile. I tried Sts. Peter & Paul in north beach & St. Dominic’s in pac heights & had no luck. I even tried 2 religious stores in the valley. Zilch. If they had them, the one I liked was in silver, not gold. Or, if there was a gold one, it was too big, or overly ornamented. I want something simple. I was about to give up & order one online.
Then I came here.
Hallelujah!
I not only found a nice miracle medallion, but a great St. Jude medal, too. The selection here is a huge cut above the other places. They have everything from the standards like rosaries, to special cake toppers.
It’s a well organized & aesthetic space. Not cluttered or chaotic. I thought it would be very touristy, given the location of china town & nob hill. It’s not. It’s actually a tranquil space.
If you need anything catholic related, this is the place.
5 stars.
