Rev. James D. Conley, D.D., S.T.L. | Diocese of Lincoln website

The Catholic Diocese of Lincoln has opened its online merchandise store for a limited time, offering apparel featuring the diocesan coat of arms and the “Southern Nebraska Catholics” logo. The store, hosted by ARTFX, became available on November 10 and will remain open until Sunday, November 23.

Shoppers can choose from a variety of clothing items including long- and short-sleeve t-shirts, polo shirts, sweatshirts, jackets, pullovers, vests, hoodies, and caps. The selection also includes the popular “I Love Catholic Schools” merchandise with a logo designed by Katelan and Dan Haden of St. John the Apostle Parish in Lincoln.

Dennis Kellogg, director of communications for the diocese, said: “This apparel is an encouraging and positive way to show your pride for the Diocese of Lincoln and for our Catholic schools.” He added: “It’s something different for that family member who is difficult to shop for and who wants to share their Catholic faith with everyone.”

Clothing is available in both adult and youth sizes as well as various styles and colors. Orders can be placed at https://stores.inksoft.com/cdol/shop/home.

Customers have two delivery options: they may pay to have their purchases shipped or opt to pick up their orders in mid-December at the Pope St. John XXIII Diocesan Center in Lincoln. Those selecting pickup will receive an email notification when their order is ready.

Kellogg noted: “This online store is only open for a couple of weeks in August and November, so take advantage of this window of opportunity to purchase Diocese of Lincoln apparel. It will let those around you know you’re Catholic and proud of it.”
