We are very excited to offer to our teens and youth leaders a variety of Catholic merchandise. Our conference bookstore is legendary for its size and the richness of resources that we are able offer through our wonderful vendors. We give our participants a full range of price points so that every teen, young adult and youth minister is able to find something that meets their needs. We are looking for vendors that can offer either art, books, clothing, jewelry, music, religious goods or other Catholic merchandise. If you have a new idea please let us know. Most of our vendors setup and staff their own area. We provide additional volunteer support. All For God provides a centralized checkout area and we take care of the California sales tax reporting on these sales. All merchandise is handled on a consignment basis with a percentage markup for All For God to support our work in Catholic youth ministry.
