THE SM mall chain’s retail arm has opened a “one-stop” religious store for church needs as well as individual devotions, with profits to be turned over to the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Manila.

In a statement, SM Retail, Inc. said the new store is a tie-up with newly established religious foundation Liturgica, initiated by Felicidad T. Sy, wife of mall and banking magnate Henry Sy.

The Liturgica store, which occupies the space that used to host a chapel at the fifth level of SM Megamall in Ortigas Center, is divided into five sections: Rogate, San Jose, Priest Robes and Vestments, Vitre Artus, and Books.

“Rogate,” which means to pray, has religious images as well as medals, rosaries, and devotional prayers, while San Jose offers sacred vessels used during Mass.

Robes and vestments for sale are made by the nuns of Talleres de Nazareth. The store also sells religious books.

The “Vitre Artus” section has altars and retablos, stained glass art, water fonts, candle stands, lecterns, and church furniture such as pews.

The store can also be consulted for religious space planning and design, as well as restoration and conservation of stained glass windows for churches.
