WEAR THE SHIRT.

"My Pope Says Ope" was born from a moment of pure Midwestern & Catholic authenticity. It started as a joke among a group of students who were privileged to witness the historic election of the first American-born Pope.

When someone jokingly said, "My Pope says ope," I knew this phrase needed to exist in the world. It's a celebration of humble humor, Midwestern flair, and an amazing moment that brought together Catholics all around the world.

This isn't just a T-shirt — it's a conversation starter, a cultural bridge, and a reminder that holiness is not a distant reality we dream about. It's something we're called to do everyday in the middle of our "opes" and our missteps.

Yeah... you betcha.
