Repository

THE REPOSITORY OF ST MARY THE IMMACULATE, GRANTHAM

The Repository of St Mary the Immaculate, Grantham has been in existence for almost 30 years and has gradually been built up over that time to the present day in a unique form

On entering the narthex of the church you will immediately see the repository which is stocked with a most interesting and imaginative selection of books, booklets, prayer cards, greetings cards, Mass cards and much information. All for sale to the public, on trust

All these religious goods are wrapped in cellophane, so they remain in fine condition with additional reviews where necessary to add to the appeal and pocket of all ages

As well as continuous support from our own congregation, many visitors from the UK and Overseas have enjoyed the service of this repository, which is at the hub of our vibrant church, and some have subsequently gone home to start their own repositories. This is such a totally wonderful way to enrich one’s faith and knowledge and spread the Good News

We have an eclectic stock of religious goods which are set out for viewing and available at the weekend Masses. A helper is always present and if there is anything you require currently not in stock, I will endeavour to obtain it for you. Nothing too big or too small
