Want to adorn your fridge, make a sartorial statement or protect yourself from the rain — all while commemorating the pope’s visit? You’re in luck. There’s plenty of merchandise to help mark and remember Pope Francis’ historic U.S. trip.
A 7-Eleven in Manhattan is selling plush pope dolls for $19.99 plus tax. Stores nearby offer pope umbrellas for $29.99 and T-shirts advertising “I (Heart) Pope Francis” for $24.99. The ultimate papal souvenir: a Pope Francis bobblehead is selling for $59.99.
Melissa and Rodney Cameron of Gardendale, Ala., are in Philadelphia for the pope’s last stop and dropped $110 for a bagful of souvenirs. Rodney Cameron says “it’s a way to evangelize” to non-Catholic relatives.
