The Ignatius Book Fair will offer an incredible selection of wholesome, enriching, and age appropriate Catholic and secular works that inspire, educate, and allow our community to explore the complementary nature of faith and literature. In preparation for the Book Fair, please follow these next steps.

Create Your Parishioner Account

  • Create Your Parishioner Account: Support our community by shopping online before, during and after the fair. Create an account here: ignatiusbookfairs.com.
    • Be sure to choose “I’m a Parishioner”. This is an important step so your account can be linked to our book fair.
    • ASA Parents: Please do NOT select “parent or guardian”. Be sure to choose “I’m a parishioner”.
    • Please note that the Ignatius Book Fair website was originally built for school book fairs. While they now offer parish book fairs as well, their site has not been updated/modified with clear parish messaging. As a result, much of the language on the website sounds like a school book fair and can be confusing for parish book fairs. Whenever you see the word “school” just mentally replace it with “parish”! This is a St. Jude Parish Book Fair (not an ASA school book fair).

Step 1: Choose “I’m a parishioner”. ASA parents: Do NOT select “I’m a parent or guardian”.

Step 2: Search using zip code 49525 and select St. Jude Catholic Church.

Step 3: Select “St. Jude’s Parish Library Classroom” from the Parish Groups dropdown.

Shop Our Wishlist

If you’d like to help us continue to build our Parish Library, feel free to shop our wish list. It’s a little tricky to find because their website is built with schools in mind and has not yet been modified for parishes, so we’ve put together some instructions to help you get there.

Step 1: Click on the “Parent Hub” menu option. (Trust me).

Step 2: A box will pop up to add children. Click “Add Children”. (Keep trusting me).

Step 3: The window will disappear. Now click “Add Child”. (You’re still on the right track)

Step 4: Add a name and click “Next” (It doesn’t have to be a child’s name. It can be your name or a made up name. We just need to do this to create the landing page.)

Step 5: You’ll have to find our school parish by entering zip code 49525 and clicking search. (Yes, you need to repeat these steps, which you already completed during your account creation).

Step 6: Choose “St. Jude Catholic Church” (it will be the only result) and click “Next”.

Step 7: From the dropdown, choose “St. Jude’s Parish Library Classroom” and click “Next”.

Step 8: Click “Confirm” and then on the next window click “Save Changes”.

Step 9: Your “child” now appears. Now click on the “Parent Hub” menu option again.

Step 10: After clicking “Parent Hub” you’ll be taken to this page. You’ll need to scroll down to find the wish list.

Step 11: You did it! You found the wish list! Now you can buy something to help us fill our library. 🙂

Incentive Program

Our community receives rewards for every book purchased during and after the fair (“ave dollars” which we can use to purchase additional books for our parish library). Continue shopping all year long on the Ignatius Book Fairs website to help us earn free books for our parish library. Each purchase from the Ignatius Book Fair benefits our community allowing us to enhance our library resources and Faith Formation programs.
