Testimonials

On 12/26/2025 Reed Thomist had this to say:
"The Upper Room, run by Julia Bean, is a true gift. The quality of customer service is special—considerate, kind, and genuinely thoughtful in a way that’s hard to find today. Interactions with Julia and her staff always reflect a real commitment to serving customers well. Just as inspiring is the quality of the Catholic products: beautiful, reverent, and clearly chosen with the faith in mind. The Upper Room isn’t just a shop; it’s a place that supports and strengthens Catholic life through excellence and integrity."

On 3/1/2025 Michelle Raemisch had this to say:
I have been meaning to stop into this store for awhile now, and I'm so glad I finally did today. What a beautiful store! The selection of gifts, books, jewelry, cards, and religious items is vast, very nice, and affordable. The store is airy and bright, with a calm, pleasant atmosphere. And the clerk was very helpful, even presenting options and wrapping one of the items I purchased as a gift. This is my new favorite shopping experience!

The ladies at The Upper Room went above and beyond to help me find a crucifix in time for my godson's baptism. And at a great price too! Thank you so much, ladies!
