Support our troops! Aquinas and More Catholic Gifts has created this soldiers' registry as a way for you to help support our troops' spiritual needs while they are away from home.

"Welcome to our Military Registry. A few years ago we created this program to help Catholic chaplains serving U.S. military personnel around the world. There is a great need, especially among chaplains in Iraq and Afghanistan, for resources to help meet service member's spiritual needs. Through this program we have been able to send thousands of Catholic gifts, Bibles, rosaries, catechisms, patron saint medals, prayer books and other items to our registered chaplains.

Here is how the program works and how you can help:

1. Each chaplain sets up a registry with us and then creates a list of the items that he needs for the soldiers in his care.
2. Our generous customers then go to the military registry section and select the items from the chaplains list and purchase them by adding them to their shopping cart and going through the checkout process.
3. We then package and ship those items at our own cost - there is no shipping cost to you or to the chaplains.

This program is a true partnership between you and our company to help these courageous chaplains who are often serving with the most limited resources in very difficult conditions. The end goal, of course, is to help in some small way to meet the spiritual needs of Catholic military personnel serving in harm's way, to help sustain their hope and faith in God - especially in difficult times.

We hope you will join us in this effort and tell others about this program so as many chaplains and military personnel as possible can benefit. God bless you for your support of our troops."

If you are a chaplain and would like to set up a registry, please send us a message with the item numbers and quantities you would like.

A few years back we received this plaque made by U.S. soldiers serving in Afghanistan. They actually made it and sent it to us from the war zone! I posted this image here so you could see that your donations do make a difference.

God bless,
