Pauline Books and Media Metairie

Great place for religious gifts for a person of any age. They have books and small gifts, pendants and rosaries for people for all ages. Babies to adults. They have a lot of inexpensive rosaries which is great and a lot of pendants, Saints pendants and general religious ones as well with not bad prices. Everyone there was veryyyyyy helpful and sweet! I'll definitely be back for my godsons baptism to buy him a gift when it's time.

This is such a peaceful wonderful place to go pray. Many times I am in there alone talking with the Lord. At tough times it was heaven sent

My experiences here go back to childhood, and I can easily say that all of them have been pleasant and resulted in extremely well priced purchases.While I may not be religious, I still find myself patronizing this religious-run store to purchase gifts for relatives and friends. Buying gifts for little ones' first communions is one of my favorite reasons to visit this shop. They have neat smalls such as the wooden shelf display of Mary and Jesus that I purchased for a nephew, cute picture frames for babies, and jewelry such as religious medals or rosary bracelets. These are just a few of the items I have purchased recently. As a child, I remember purchasing a first communion prayer book and my first communion veil here. I still have them stored safely somewhere in an airtight container. While as an adult I am not religious, I still remember the wonder and reverence I felt toward the mystique and faith in God. My items from this store will continue to be cherished not due to their religious affiliation, but because of the childhood sentimental attachment they have.I would like to point out that in no way have the nuns or anyone in this store ever made me feel uncomfortable. And religious zealots have frequently made me uncomfortable in the past - ahem, non-denominational evangelical Christians. So, you don't have anything to fear in this store. They will not bombard you and attempt to impose their beliefs on you. Therefore, my next visit is going to be for a very dear friend of mine who just had a baby and is very religious. I know that she will appreciate any gem from this store.

Say you need a religious gift of a Roman Catholic nature, like a religious statue or saint's medal for a child's christening or birth. This is the shop for you. It is mostly run by nuns which I kind of like. It does sell books, CDs, and DVDs of a faith based nature. It is, of course, closed on Sunday.

Huge selection of catholic/christian books & media. The sisters were very informative to this eager RCIA "student"

I tried to return a medal that my son had received duplicates of for his confirmation, only expecting store credit. I was told I needed to know who purchased it (he received three - I don't know who purchased it from where), that they would not take a return, even for store credit, if it was over 30 days from purchase, that the medal had a scratch on it (brand new, still in box from their store medal), and that the person who gifted it should have left the tag on it. I have literally never had this much trouble trying to return an item.

Extraordinary peaceful place to shop for cards & books & religious items. There are Secular items here too. There's Usually a Nun present to pray with you or give cheerful encouragement. No high pressure sales push but always someone present to answer questions or make suggestions if asked. The Chapel is open & available for calming balance. I highly recommend this store. It's more than a store for religious items. Excellent high quality reasonably priced gifts & beautiful cards. Plus, the proceeds help the nuns to continue their good works.
