Related: About this forumPhiladelphia wants you to have a plush Pope Francis doll
http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2015/06/02/philadelphia-wants-you-to-have-a-plush-pope-francis-doll/The pope is set to visit the city Sept. 26 and 27, in time for the closing festival for the World Meeting of Families Congress, an international event for Catholics focused on forging family relationships. Hell attend an outdoor mass the next day. Up to 3 million people are expected to visit the city during the religious gathering, which is why Philly-based company Aramark is distributing merchandise to commemorate the papal visit.
Thats right, you too, can take home a plush Pope Francis doll.
Im looking forward to soon making my first purchase, Mayor Michael Nutter, a Catholic school alumnus, said, according to the Associated Press. I can assure you, it will be for my mother.
The company will be selling more than 200 standard souvenirs such as keychains, cups and glasses, and T-shirts. One shirt reads: I [love] Pope Francis with a miter instead of a heart. There will also be faith-based memorabilia such as rosaries, which are expected to be the most popular items, Carl Mittleman, president of Aramarks sports and entertainment division, told the Philadelphia Inquirer.
