Saint Peter (Doll)

Meet St. Peter!

St. Peter (June 29th)

Patron of: fishermen, leaders, the Papacy, ship builders, against fever

St. Peter was one of the twelve apostles of Jesus, and was the first Pope. Peter became the first Pope of the Catholic Church after Jesus told him that, “upon this rock I will build my Church.” Even though Peter denied Christ, he asked for forgiveness and went on to do great things. A great example to us all that no one is free from sin, but all that turn to Christ will be made new. This doll has the most stunning rooster design on the back, to symbolize the three times Peter denied Christ each time the rooster crowed.

Teach your children about asking for forgiveness! Introduce the story of St. Peter using the educational insert in the box. Encourage children to consider what it means to fail, but to get back up again. We all make mistakes, fail and sin- but like St. Peter we can turn to Jesus and be helped back up again. St. Peter is a great Saint to teach children about reconciliation.
