Mini St. Therese of Lisieux Plushie

Saint Therese of Lisieux 4.75" Plush Doll

Marie-Françoise-Thérèse Martin was born on January 2, 1873, in Alençon, France. At just fifteen, she entered the Carmelite convent in Lisieux, where she developed her “Little Way” — a spirituality of doing small things with great love. Despite suffering from tuberculosis, Thérèse maintained profound faith and joy. She died at twenty-four, but her autobiography, Story of a Soul, has inspired millions. She was canonized in 1925 and declared a Doctor of the Church in 1997.

Saint Thérèse teaches us that small acts of love have great power.

Feast Day: October 1 | Patroness of Missionaries and Florists

WHAT MAKES HER SPECIAL

SAINT THÉRÈSE OF LISIEUX is hand-designed by Little Drops of Water and crafted in soft, cuddle-ready fabric. She wears the brown habit and cream veil of the Carmelite order, with a bouquet of roses gathered in her arms — the shower of roses she promised to send from heaven. At about 4.75 inches, she is small enough for the littlest hands and easy to bring along — to Mass, in the car, or wherever a small companion is needed.

Every Catholic Plush Doll from Little Drops of Water is hand-designed and made to be loved — soft to hold, with embroidered features and no hard pieces, so a child’s first encounter with a saint is something gentle, huggable, and entirely their own.

A REFLECTION

Saint Thérèse promised to spend her heaven doing good on earth, and to let fall a shower of roses. Her “Little Way” was never about grand gestures — only small things done with great love, the kind a child understands best of all. To place this soft Thérèse in a child’s arms is to hand them that promise: that the smallest acts of kindness, and the smallest person, are precious to God.

PERFECT FOR THE FAMILIES

A keepsake gift for:

• A child’s First Communion or Confirmation

Where she belongs

She is at home in a child’s arms first of all — on the pillow at bedtime, in the car seat on a long drive, in a backpack on the first day of school, or beside a crib as a soft first patron. She also pairs with our Saint Thérèse Miniature Saint Statue for the family altar or shelf!
