Modest Clothing

The Catholic tradition has given us a valuable definition of modesty, which is the virtue that regulates one’s actions and exterior customs concerning sexual matters. It controls one’s behavior so as to avoid unlawful sexual arousal in oneself or others.

Modesty is one of the Twelve Fruits of the Holy Spirit, which are perfections that the Holy Spirit forms in us as “the first fruits of eternal glory”: charity, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, generosity, gentleness, faithfulness, modesty, self-control, chastity.

To dress modestly is to avoid deliberately causing sexual excitement in oneself or one’s neighbor. One who dresses modestly shuns clothes that are known or reasonably expected to effect sexual arousal in oneself or others. Modesty is dress pertains to both genders. You will notice that we do not display certain apparel that is too revealing for women. Also our book department does not have any materials of occult or violent nature. Our goal is to have a “family friendly store” where any mother would feel comfortable allowing her child to pick up any book or video without concern.

We’re a little bit Catholic

When you enter the store you will notice that we play soothing Christian music on the music system and our walls are adorned with sacred paintings and statues. We’re a little bit Catholic but our non Catholic patrons love the store. Several of the local churches also help support our store by bringing groups of volunteers from their church. We are always ready to answer a question about our faith but certainly we would never try to force our faith on any customer.
