About Us

Welcome, I’m Norma DiCocco!

In 1965, my husband Lou and I founded the DiCocco Family St. Jude Shop, Inc. I’m proud to say that today we are among the largest religious and inspirational goods retailers in the United States—and we remain 100% family-run, now three generations strong. From the beginning, we have always viewed this endeavor as a ministry first and a business second.

Our mission has always been simple: to help you, our customers, strengthen your relationship with God through the products we provide in our stores, our catalogs, and now online. 

Our Journey

As the new millennium unfolded, the DiCocco Family embarked on a transformative journey, transitioning from multiple brick-and-mortar Catholic and Christian gift stores into a robust national enterprise. Central to this evolution was the launch of our one website, which acted as a pioneering platform that allowed us to serve customers across the country with the same personal touch and deep devotion that defined our original stores.

As demand grew for more inclusive and inspirational Christian gifts, our family expanded further by launching GiftswithLove, a sister website designed to reach beyond the Catholic tradition. This website provides a smooth, secure online experience tailored to individuals seeking faith-based inspiration.

Every item you discover here can truly be a gift with love—whether for a friend, a family member, or even yourself. Each product is thoughtfully chosen to serve as a tangible reminder of God’s love, bringing encouragement, comfort, and joy in every season of life.

Our Commitment 

From generation to generation, our family remains dedicated to serving yours with faith, integrity, and love. We look forward to continuing this ministry, helping you discover meaningful ways to live out and celebrate your faith.

It is our prayer that through our work, you are drawn closer to Christ and reminded daily of His everlasting love.
