The Marian Center Catholic Book Fair Program for Schools and Parishes

The Marian Center of Milwaukee now offers a special Catholic Book Fair program for Schools and Parishes. Why should you be interested?

The Top Ten Reasons to conduct a Catholic Book Fair 

10. Timeliness. Assist your parishioners in preparing for upcoming Liturgical Seasons. Some of the materials presented will reflect the anticipated season (Lent, Advent, etc.) to help parishioners prepare and benefit from the season.

9. Convenience. Your parish families won’t have to drive a long distance to get their books. They will be able to order and pick up after Mass...and they’re coming to Mass anyway!

8. Delivery. We deliver! We can bring the books for the Book Fair to the hall where they’ll be displayed. Plus, we will deliver completed orders directly to the parish or school office. We will work with you to maximize efficiency.

7. Customization. Customize the materials offered to suit your parish/school needs! We will work with you to offer books that reflect the latest releases from Catholic authors, the most popular children’s books and DVDs, favorite Prayer Books and Devotionals...as you wish!

6. We Make it Easy! We will provide you with a Catholic Book Fair Coordinator’s Planning Guide that will help you through the process of hosting a Book Fair.

5. At Your Fingertips. We will provide you with a CD that has all the forms you will need to conduct the Book Fair. Letters to be sent home with the school children, inserts for the bulletin, sample announcements, publicity posters, etc.

4. Easy Payment Options! In addition to cash or checks, you can also accept credit cards. We can teach you how to accept credit cards for the book fair to increase your sales and fund-raising!

3. Customer Service. We will be there to assist you, every step of the way. A Marian Center staff member will be with you at the Book Fair display after Sunday Masses to help and answer any questions. Additionally, during the week, we are just a quick phone call away.

2. Confidence. We are careful to offer materials which are in fidelity to the Magisterium so you can be assured you're offering solid Catholic materials to your parishioners and school children.

...and the #1 reason to conduct a Catholic Book Fair is...you’ll be raising funds for two good causes! Your parish or school will receive a check for 10% of the sales (less sales tax) or an in-store allowance of 15% (to help build the inventory in your school or parish library). Plus, your sales will help to support the worldwide missions of the Ecclesial Family Miles Jesu - the Marian Center is an outreach of Miles Jesu and profits benefit their programs.
