It’s official! Pope Francis will make his first visit to the U.S. for the World Meeting of Families in Philadelphia in September. The convention will be a gathering of Catholics that will focus on strengthening family bonds. This means, of course, that we will be needing some divine swag to commemorate this visit. The official retailer for the merchandise will be Aramark and they have a bunch of items already in mind. Something that they really took into consideration when considering the different items that will be offered was the selling price. Aiming for a large range for all buyers, they have swag that can cost anywhere from $5 to $500. Perfect for all budgets! Some celebratory souvenirs that are in the works are plush Pope Francis dolls, key chains, t-shirts, rosaries, glassware, and tote bags. They will all be available at the convention center, online, and at pop-up stations along the Benjamin Franklin Parkway during the visit.
