The Holy Family Bookstore is open for in-store shopping!
Tuesday – Saturday 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
(Closed Sunday & Monday)
We suggest calling ahead (626)403-6133 or email us at hfb@holyfamily.org.
A shopping reservation will guarantee you a time to shop! In order to make your visits to the Bookstore a safe and comfortable experience, we have implemented a reservation system to limit people in the store to two to three at a time. Reservations can be made on the hour or the half hour, from 10:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. We will, however, take walk-ins when we are not at our quota of shoppers.
MASKS ARE A MUST and we ask that you use hand sanitizer as you enter the store. (It’s available on the counter)
If you prefer not to shop in the store, we still accommodate curbside pick-up and USPO shipping requests.
MICHAL GOLAN is back In the Bookstore!
Some years ago, we carried the cross jewelry of this very popular Israeli born designer. Now based in New York City, all of her designs created in the U.S.A. We are pleased to bring Michal’s jewelry line back to the Bookstore. Hand crafted with 24kt or sterling silver electroplated over brass or white metal, then set with semi-precious stones, fresh water pearls, Swarovski crystals, and glass, these pieces are unique and eye-catching. An extra length of chain allows them to be worn short or long.
