Welcome to the world of Tiny Saints—a joyful way to help children and families learn about the lives and stories of faithful Catholics who have shaped the Church. Measuring just one inch tall and made from durable rubber, these miniature charms are designed to go wherever faith goes.
Dymphna was an Irish princess whose life was marked by deep suffering and extraordinary courage. After enduring abuse at the hands of her mentally ill father, she fled her homeland and sought refuge in Gheel, Belgium. There, she used her wealth to care for the poor and help those suffering from mental illness.
Dymphna was eventually martyred, but her legacy lives on. For centuries, Gheel has remained a place of compassion and care for individuals living with mental illness, inspired by her witness. Her life stands as a testament to faith, mercy, and God’s presence in the midst of suffering.
This Tiny Saints® charm honors a powerful patron of mental health and a reminder that compassion and dignity belong to every human life.
