St. Joseph's Shop started as In His Image Catholic Gifts Store in Batesville, Indiana. Eric Wilson was the owner of In His Image and Eric had Marian Ahern employed there. In 2011, Eric decided to start working at a Honda plant and In His Image Catholic Gifts Store was going to be closed down. Marian then asked the Lord if it was mean't for the store to be reopened. Marian was willing to do the task but God would have to find Marian a facility. Prayers were answered. While Marian was still working at In His Image, a man named Bobby Pierson came in and heard that Marian was looking for a facility. Marian said yes but could only pay minimum rent. Bobby agreed and St. Joseph's Shop had it's grand opening on September 8th, 2011 on the Blessed Mother's birthday. Marian has been providing Catholics with their sacramental gifts and needs ever since. We are proud to be a Catholic store in Batesville, Indiana.
