Jmj Catholic Book Store

I have shopped here a few times and always experienced outstanding service. The owners and staff are friendly and very knowledgeable. On each visit I find new and unusual items and their prices are fair. I recommend them highly. more

NEVER SO DISAPPOINTED IN ALL MY LIFE!! Went to the JMJ in Bethel Park today around 4:00 ( they close at 5:00 ) my dad has a flight tomorrow mornig for Italy to see his sister whom is dying from cancer.So with a heavy heart I went to JMJ ( with my kids ) to find something special to send with my dad so he can put it in my Aunts casket for me. around 4:15 my 5yr old had to use the rest room and they said no public rest rooms and he sent me to McDonalds down the street from them. With the time frame that I had and the situation that it was I asked the man again if ( my 5yr.old) could please use their rest room and mentioned that is already after 4:00 and close at 5;00 I was kinda of stuck. He then told me that they have no rest room in the store.Then I became completely disgusted by what is going on and the pure silliness of it. I was there shopping for something so special to me and when I first got there surrouned by all the beautiful things it put me at peace, but in a blink of an eye I left the with such disapointment and disbelief of how a Christian store treated a person. Before Ieft the store with my son jumping up and down because of how badly he needed to use the rest room.I asked the man if anyone else worked there and two other people came out. I had told them ( while crying ) that I was there to buy something special to put in my Aunts casket ( and explained this was my only chance ) But now because a little boy could not use their rest room I had to leave and now was not going to be able to do so. She told me that "" the land lord "" does not allow them to let people use their rest room. I said he's a little boy and she just kept saying no and did not care that I had to leave. I just kept saying you should be ashamed of yourselves surrounded by all these beautiful things and thats how they treated me and my family. I then added I hope you all say a prayer tonight before you go to bed ., and she told me not to curse them "" it's not a Christian thing to do."" I am not a witch and I don't cast spells, I am a mother of three, I went to a Catholic school for 8yrs my husband went to a Catholic school from K- college and we send our three kids to a Catholic school. We instill our values and beliefs in them every day. The fact that my kids saw that this family owned Christian store turned us away with out hestitation sickens me and I REALLY do feel that they should be ASHAMED and EMBARASSED of themselves. and wanted everyone to know about this and ask...how that woman had the nerve to say I was not acting like a Christian. more

This store has everything that I want. There is so much to look at in this store. This store has incredible selection and variety of goods. The owner is just a wonderful lady and the staff is so friendly and helpful. more

Wow this is not your run of the mill bookstore! The staff are so friendly, they have some incredible merchandise. The collection of beautiful Italian statues is a sight to behold. I have never seen so much choice in any catholic gift store I will need many visits to see it all. I felt so calm and at peace being there and cannot wait to return. Thanks for the memories! more

I found this store through a web search a few years ago and just had the chance to go yesterday. I was blown away by the incredible selection and variety of all manner of Catholic goods that they sell! In particular, I was looking for christening gifts/baby medals, and couldn't believe the beautiful quality miraculous medals, four way scapulars and crucifixes they had for babies. The owner is just a wonderful lady, very helpful and knowledgeable, and so pleasant to deal with. Finding this store was a true blessing! I urge you to go go GO!!! :) Pros: Incredible selection Cons: Wish they had more than one store more

This store is remarkable. I went to look for rosaries, which are so hard to find....and they had hundreds. There was so much to look at in this store that I can't wait to go back because I know I didn't see half of it. Pros: HUGE selection of rosaries! more
