St Pauls is delighted to announce they are to open a shop in York. The shop at 5 King’s Square, in the heart of the shopping centre of York, is a short walk from York Minster and the Shrine of St Margaret Clitherow on the famous Shambles. Covering 2000+ square feet, it will stock a full range of books, devotional articles, church furnishings, vestments, Christian cards, gifts, audio/visual material, etc. It will also contain a second-hand religious book department ñ itself a new venture for St Pauls.
The shop will open in September and will be a valuable addition to their shops in London, Birmingham, Leeds, Hinsley Hall and Athlone (Ireland). This will make St Pauls the largest chain of Catholic bookshops in the country. Stephen Moseling, Operations Co-ordinator for St Pauls said: “At this time of change and uncertainty within the Christian publishing and retail trades, with shops from various denominations closing, it is very exciting for us at St Pauls to be opening a shop in York. Over the past 18 months, many Christian publishers have expressed concerns about the future of Christian retail, but with the opening of our shop in York, my hope is that we can reassure them, and the public, that St Pauls is determined to keep a Christian presence on the High Street. As in all our shops, we will be at the service of Christians of all denominations and we ask for their support and prayers at this exciting time”.
St Pauls is an activity of the Society of St Paul, a worldwide religious congregation of priests and brothers whose apostolate is to proclaim the Gospel through the various means of communication. See www.stpauls.it
