Product Overview

Mary's Miracles, A Traveler's Guide to Catholic America

This wonderful book will help you find the more than 50 Marian shrines, chapels, and stautes in the United States each with their own story.  The book is divided by regions:  Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, etc.  Each state map has numbered markers, and on the following pages is a short essay or story about the location.  

What will you find?  

  • The only Church-approved Marian apparition in the United States
  • A family's safe passage to America after invoking the intercession of the Star of the Sea and the chapel they built in thanksgiving
  • The Grotto, the fulfillment of a boyhood vow to do a "great work" for the Blessed Mother
  • An old Spanish shrine to Our Lady of La Leche, the powerhouse of answered prayers for babies
  • A priest who looked like Dean Martin and sang like Bing Crosby - and commissioned a statue as big as his love for Mary

This book is from the same author who brought you Monuments, Marvels, and Miracles.  It can help you plan your next vacation or pilgrimage tour without having to leave the country.  Additional features include color photos, miracle stories, and an explanation of site-specific Marian titles and devotions.  Websites, phone numbers, addresses and other pertinent informaiton are included.

Lisa’s Catholic Treasures

For half a century, I’ve collected Catholic-themed wood carvings, figurines and nativities. I began selling them to family and friends via open houses 15 years ago and added an online side to the business eight years back. Now, I’ve gone far beyond figurines and nativities and I have hundreds  of different items available for sale.

Online Catholic Store

Our online store is just the place to shop for gifts or items for your own home.  We have the basics:  saints, angels and Holy Family figurines, rosaries, crucifixes, and jewelry.  You will also find items related to the sacraments - Baptism, First Holy Communion, Confirmation, as well as Advent, Christmas and Easter.

We also carry religious books from board books, storybooks, young readers, adults and bibles for all ages.  Bibles include storybook and graphic novels for young people, those designed for First Holy Communion, middle school age, high school age, and adults.  You will find New American, New Catholic, NRSV-Catholic Edition and Spanish Bibles.

There is a variety of toys available on the website as well.  We carry a large selection of Shining Light Dolls and jigsaw puzzles with a scattering of plush, saints, activity sets and more.

No matter what type of Catholic treasure you’re looking for, you’re likely to find it right here on this website.

My Background

My interest in Catholic figurines and carvings can be traced back to my teenage years when my parents brought back a woodcarving of the Madonna and Child from their trip to Europe to give to my grandparents. I searched for that same style of carving for years, but eventually received the original when my father died. But the quest has guided me and led me to start this business of providing Catholic treasures to family, friends, and new friends.

My husband and I are lifelong Catholics from the Midwest, who met at a church in Colorado. We’re still active in our local parish community more than four decades later. My husband, three grown children and their families have all helped with the business.
