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.
Saint John Paul II is remembered not only for his profound faith and leadership, but also for his joyful humanity. From childhood, he loved skiing in his native Poland, finding freedom and reflection in the mountains. Just moments after being elected pope in 1978, he famously turned to a friend and said, “I will ski again when they let me!”—a glimpse into the warmth and humor that endeared him to the world.
This Tiny Saints charm featuring Saint John Paul II skiing is inspired by Pope on a Slope, a poem from Fools for Heaven, a collection of children’s poems written by Stephanie Petters and illustrated by Emily Demary. It celebrates the saint’s zest for life, reminding us that holiness and joy go hand in hand.
