Generations Religious Gifts & Church Supply — Attraction in Columbus

My experience at Generations Religious Gifts has been nothing short of exceptional, and I'm honored to leave a well-deserved 5-star review.

I first visited Generations in 2021, during a particularly challenging time in my life following a death in the family. I was searching for a St. Joseph statue to honor my uncle's memory in my Mom's beloved garden. From the moment I entered the store, I knew I was in the right place.

Now, I'm not usually one to write reviews, but the warmth and expertise I encountered at Generations compelled me to do so. One of the first things that struck me was their consideration for customers like me, who may have busy weekday schedules. I'm immensely thankful that they offer weekend hours, making it convenient for individuals to visit at their leisure.

Generations Religious Gifts operates like an actual family-run business. You can sense the care and dedication of each staff member, who treats their customers with the same warmth and respect that one would expect from a close-knit family. They greeted me with smiles and went above and beyond to answer all my questions.

Their knowledge of the Catholic religion is genuinely remarkable. Whether you're a lifelong devotee or just beginning your faith journey, the staff (Andy and Kevin) at Generations is well-equipped to assist you. I had the pleasure of meeting Phyllis, the owner, who guided me in selecting a medal of my mother's favorite Saint, Michael the Archangel. Her insights and patience were invaluable in making a meaningful choice.

On another occasion, my father accidentally chipped our cherished Pieta statue with a lawnmower. It was heartbreaking, but Larry, the owner, came to our rescue. He not only empathized with our situation but also took the time to custom order a new pieta statue for my mother's garden. His dedication to ensuring we found the perfect replacement was genuinely heartwarming.

The Generations Religious Gifts staff is knowledgeable, compassionate, and committed to their customers. I am deeply grateful for their outstanding service and hope they continue to provide the same level of excellence to others. Generations is a treasure for anyone seeking religious gifts and guidance. If you're searching for a meaningful and enriching shopping experience, look no further than...

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...

I Absolutely Adore This Place. . I placed a call before making the drive there because it's a distance from where I live. But as always it's 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...
