Getting your hands on Christian material can be a bit of a struggle. Here's a few suggestions about where you might find some of the stuff that we're talking about at the Youth Ministry Office. Some Christian bookshops might not sell specifically Catholic material, in which case it may be worth checking further afield, or on the net.  Most bookshops will also sell Christian music, videos, gifts etc

Bookshops Outside the Diocese

The St Andrews chain of Christian bookshops, with branches in Maidenhead, Oxford and Witney as well as Great Missenden and Wolverton, are well-stocked with  Bibles, books, CD's, cards and gifts.

There is a branch of the McCrimmons Catholic booksellers at the All Saints Pastoral Centre, St Albans (next to SPEC), where quite a few parish groups in the diocese go for confirmation retreats and time away.

In London, you'll find a St Paul's bookshop right next door to Westminster Cathedral. A better stocked one can be found at 199 Kensington High Street, W8 6BA - tel. 020 7937 9591.

You'll also usually find bookstalls at all of the events, Diocesan or deanery, that are put on by the Youth Ministry Office, with a selection of amazing books and CD's.

Online Buying

St Paul's Multimedia and St Andrew's Bookshops have decent websites, where you can order online.

Our friends at Goodnews Books are able to get many titles delivered to your door, either through their website or via phone / fax.

Failing these, try visiting Amazon's UK site, or their international version.
