The rich offer of calendars for catechists and clergy as well as all types of writing materials deserve the trade fair visitors’ attention, too. The expo has proven to be a real mine of... rosaries - this abundance has been demonstrated many times.  The display includes plastic, exotic wood, coconut, Swarovski crystals rosaries, those which follow the philosophy of St. Hildegard. The latter are made of precious stones which also offer  therapeutic effects.  The African Mission expo stand showcases paintings from butterfly wings and religious gadgets - the latter are the ones to take
with a pinch of salt.

A wide range of confessionals and organs as well as modern heating and sound systems are targeted at the parsons and parish-heads.  Last year saw turbulent incidents, therefore it comes as no surprise that a special attention should be paid to fire protection systems and anti-theft and anti-intrusions systems.  Safety and security is not the end of the story - church interior furnishing and décor are equally important  Therefore, the hand-made, intricate-technique icons and religions paintings will be showcased on flamboyant expo stands, next to monumental stained glass windows. Extraordinary precision, stunning lavish colours and a variety of motifs are particularly noteworthy. The trade show offers sculptures galore. Sometimes sculpted figures are made in front of the delighted public who admire the art in the making. Statues of saints and even wonderful Christmas nativity scenes are brought in for the expo.  The Kielce trade fairs features a rich assortment of stoles and chasubles which are available at promotional prices. Liturgical vessels and tablecloths are also on offer.  Therefore, all priests can find all kinds of liturgical vessels and paraments necessary to celebrate the Holly Mass. 

Pilgrimage organisers and agencies also present their offer.  The trade fair features a long-standing tradition - the lottery
 which can win you a pilgrimage. SACROEXPO agenda includes training sessions for devotional stores owners and employees as well as a whole array of other workshops. The programme also includes the conference organised by the Wesoła54 Pastoral Centre.  On the second day of SACROEXPO, the Orthodox Archbishop of Przemysl and Gorlice His Excellency Paisjusz presents the distinctions to exhibitors in recognition of their contribution to religious life.
