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 Matthew’s story is one of radical conversion and mercy. As a tax collector, Matthew was associated with corruption and greed, and many people questioned his integrity. When Jesus called Matthew to follow Him as one of the Twelve Apostles, the choice shocked and angered many.
Christ’s response revealed the heart of the Gospel:
“I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.” (Matthew 9:13)
Matthew left everything behind to follow Jesus and later became the author of the Gospel of Matthew, which emphasizes Christ as the fulfillment of God’s promises. His life is a powerful reminder that no one is beyond God’s call, and that grace can transform even the most unlikely hearts.
This Tiny Saints® charm honors Saint Matthew / St. Matthew, patron saint of accountants and tax collectors, and celebrates God’s boundless mercy and invitation to conversion.
