Pope Leo XIV Miniature Saint Statue

Pope Leo XIV

Robert Francis Prevost was born on September 14, 1955, in Chicago, Illinois. He entered the Order of Saint Augustine and was ordained a priest in 1982. During his studies, he taught physics and mathematics at a Catholic high school in Chicago. After years of missionary service in Peru, he was appointed Bishop of Chiclayo in 2015 and later served as Prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops in Rome. On May 8, 2025, he was elected the 267th pope, becoming the first American and the first Augustinian to lead the Church. He chose the name Leo XIV in honor of Pope Leo XIII, known for his social teachings.

Pope Leo XIV reminds us that God calls leaders from every nation to shepherd His Church.

WHAT MAKES HIM SPECIAL

This statue is hand-designed by Little Drops of Water and hand-painted in fine resin. He is shown in the white papal cassock and zucchetto with a small pectoral cross, his hand lifted in a friendly blessing. Sized to fit on a nightstand, a bookshelf, a desk at work, or the quiet corner of a home altar.

Every Miniature Saint Statue from Little Drops of Water is finished by hand, which means each piece carries small variations in shading and brushwork — the mark of real craftsmanship, not mass production.

A REFLECTION

From a classroom in Chicago to the Chair of Saint Peter, the life of Pope Leo XIV is a reminder that God calls people from every corner of the world to serve. To keep him near makes that story approachable for the youngest members of the Church — a way to feel close to the Holy Father, and to learn to pray for him, as he asks us all to do.
