Operation Pass Along
is a program for collecting books about the Church and usable vestments from those who no longer want or need them and passing them along to those who do. Requests for books from seminarians or other readers are filled from whatever is on our shelves at no charge other than for shipping and handling. Books and vestments are reshipped with no charge to churches and rectors in Less Developed Countries where access to those items is limited or too costly.
Those with books or vestments that are not being used are encouraged to send them to:
Operation Pass AlongThe most economical way to send books is via the U.S. Postal Service, marked "Media Mail". We will send you a receipt for the number of books received. You must put a value on them if you wish to claim them as a charitable donation. You may also claim the cost of sending them to us so be sure you get a receipt from the Post Office.

Your request list for books may also be sent to the same address. Requests may also be made via e-mail or telephone. When sending requests, it will help us help you if you are as specific as possible with titles and names of authors. We will check your list against our holdings and will advise you of the postage and handling charge to send the book(s) to you (there is no charge for the book itself). Upon receipt of your remittance we will mail the book(s) to you.
We will hold your request for a year if we do not have the book at the time of requesting, and will notify you as above if and when a requested book is received. If at the end of a year you have not heard from us and want us to continue to watch for the book, you must re-submit your request in writing.
Since 1972 more than 152,000 books have been received; more than 135,000 passed along. Books come and go almost daily so we do not attempt to catalog them nor do we maintain a list.
The books on Pass Along's shelves serve no useful purpose here; we would much rather see them put to use, so ask.
