We have spent quite a bit of money in the store and my son and granddaughter always loved going in and looking around. Because my five-year-old granddaughter touched the stuffed animals and some children’s books and didn’t put them back exactly where they belonged the grumpy store owner approached her and made her cry and scared her. I understand him asking her not to touch the children’s items but it was the way he said it not why He said it. My son mentioned he tried to say hello to the owner in the past and was totally ignored. I suggest the owner put a smile on his face and welcome everyone into his store expecially little children!!
Poor hours. Open at 9:30am and closes at 5pm? When is a working person suppose to shop? I would never make a special trip back downtown on a Saturday. Amazon and online shopping will have to fill the massive void. Suggest they try staying open to 7pm at least one night a week.
Very helpful personnel. Great selection of Catholic sacramentals, gifts, Bibles etc. Its now the only Catholic source in town, and they make it worth your while to go. Wish they had more and better prayer mantillas, though. The ones featured here loom more like kids; lots of Catholic women are beginning again to cover their heads during Mass.
They have everything Catholic you could possibly be looking for-- sacrament gifts, statues, clothing, priestly vestments, books, art... They quite literally have something for anyone you could be shopping for.Please patronize them for religious books. Barnes and Noble at Easton tucks their religious books away in the section that is the longest walk from the entrance with the Bibles on the least visible shelf in the store. Generations is in business for the right reasons, so let them know you appreciate their work.The staff is fully dedicated to helping you find what you need, even if you dont know yourself. The only difficult part of shopping there is that my checking account is finite.
Generations Religious Gifts is a large Catholic store that contains contains Catholic statues, sacred images, Rosaries, Sacramental gifts, Cards for occasions, Posters, etc.Located in a strip mall with modest parking, you can find a choice among many gift items. Staff in the store are friendly and can guide you in picking a good gift. As an example, when we were at the store, one of staff helped a customer pick a Bible among the range of Bible versions (Catholic and Protestant) that they carry.Although the store carries pre-Vatican II theology books from publishers such as TAN and Loreto, the store also carries Protestant books and many books oriented towards Vatican II doctrine from publishers such as Ignatius and Our Sunday Visitor. This can be very very confusing - check if the book has an imprimatur (only Catholic books have an imprimatur) or ask the store owner if the book is Catholic or not. The store has a section for clearance/discount books, but the discounted books are Protestant and Vatican II oriented.This is one of the few stores that devotes a section to G.K Chesterton, an English writer, poet, philosopher and staunch defender of the Traditional pre-Vatican II Catholic faith. His books titled Heretics, Orthodoxy and Eugenics and other evils are a must read. Before leaving, we bought some gift items at the this store, the scholarly A History of the Catholic Church by Msgr. Philip Hughes, as well as the beautiful Stations of the Cross poster lithograph (traditional artwork from Italy).Checkout was easy. Pleasant shopping experience.+ In JMJ +

2021-06-12A great selection of Catholic items/gifts/books, etc. and even church supplies. They have some really unique stuff that would be a special gift for religious friends and family. Glad I was able to get a St. Francis pet medallion so my cat can be as Catholic as a cat can be :)

2020-01-05I Absolutely Adore This Place. . I placed a call before making the drive there because its a distance from where I live. But as always its worth the drive. Although, The Guardian Angel Pin they had was different from the one I had in mind, i actually found two different ones I loved and purchased both. They have so much to offer, no matter your Religion which I truly appreciate!Also, the staff is always so helpful and polite. The gentleman I spoke with on the phone was so helpful in explaining to me what they did have. The young lady that help me once I arrived, was as sweet as she could be and wonderful to work with!In Columbus we have very limilted Religious Gift Shops, this store is on Dublin Road off I 70 and well worth the drive!
