Do you have daughters, granddaughters, nieces, or god-daughters who love dolls? Do you need a baptismal gift or a First Communion gift for a little girl? Do the special little girls in your life love the American Girl dolls? There is now a Catholic alternative to the American Girl doll: introducing Dolls from Heaven, by the Kiczek family!

The Kiczek family’s first doll, St. Therese, is currently in production (pre-orders are being taken), and the doll is expected to be delivered in November. The doll is the same quality as the American Girl Doll (there are differences in the mold) and the price is comparable as well.

The St. Therese doll has brown eyes that open and close, a cloth body, and a movable vinyl head and limbs. She comes with a Carmelite habit and a paperback book (adapted from the “Story of a Soul”). There are additional accessories available as well – a Sunday outfit, a rosary, her mantle, and pictures.

The goal of the Kiczek family is to inspire children to become saints. They plan to introduce one new saint doll a year, saints including St. John Paul II, St. Bernadette, and others.

This is a wonderful endeavor! It is rare indeed to find a truly Catholic toy or doll out there on the market. We encourage you to check out the Kiczek family’s website and to share this with your family and friends.
