Celebrate the historic papacy of Pope Leo XIV, the first American-born pontiff and a devoted son of St. Augustine, with this hand-painted Catholic peg doll. Crafted from solid birch wood and standing 3.5 inches tall, each doll is made to order using non-toxic acrylic paints, then sealed with a non-toxic matte varnish for lasting durability.
This Papal figurine makes a meaningful gift for Baptism, First Communion, or Confirmation—and a treasured addition to your child’s faith-based toy collection. It’s also perfect for Easter baskets, Catholic homeschool resources, Pope-themed displays and playtime, altar décor, or as a heartfelt gift for Catholic teachers, catechists, godparents, or RCIA sponsors.
Elected in 2025, Pope Leo XIV—born Robert Francis Prevost—has brought a spirit of humility, dialogue, and missionary zeal to the Church. Known for his influence in Peru, his Augustinian spirituality, and his emphasis on friendship with Christ, his leadership has been an inspiration for Catholics around the world.
Note: Because each saint peg doll is made to order, each figure is unique, and slight variations in color, brushstroke, or design may occur. Peg dolls are intended for decoration, supervised play, or educational use and are not suitable for teething or mouthing.
