Gabonay Catholic Family Books

Excellent! We need more catholic bookstores like this.

Gabonay bookstore is a small family owned store in PA, that has a lot of selections, ranging from Bibles, Rosaries, to Books. We met the owner's husband, who was very helpful and also shared with us the history of the store from its small beginnings to serving the laity in providing great Catholic literature. The store has many pre-Vatican II books and many items at a discount.

We found a few treasures such as "What faith really means" by famous Bishop Henry Graham, "The Holy Mountain of La Salette" by Archbishop William Ullathorne and "Following of Christ" by Gerard Goote (founder of the Brethren and Sisters of the Common Life), a masterpiece akin to the "Imitation of Christ" by Thomas Kempis.

While looking for Holy Oils in the store, we were pleasantly surprised to find a book on "The Cancer Saint" by Fr. Lovasik on St. Peregrine, the Patron Saint of those who suffer from Cancer.

The bookstore is located opposite a Church and has ample parking outside the store. Checkout was simple and straightforward.
