Saint Jerome Emiliani mug

The Saint Jerome Emiliani mug is a gift for someone who finds inspiration in caring for children and the most vulnerable. His dedication to orphans is central to this design: Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo's painting presents him beside a boy, while the reverse brings some milestones of his life closer to the recipient.

Saint Jerome Emiliani mug: remembering a vocation of service

Born in Venice, Jerome moved from military and public life to sustained service to people in need. He cared for the sick and organised places where orphaned children could find shelter and learn a trade. This path gave rise to the community from which the Somascan Fathers emerged, connected with education and caring for young people.

It can be a thank-you gift for someone involved with a Somascan community or educational work. It can also accompany his 8 February commemoration with a reminder that invites conversation about the person represented and what his story means to the recipient. A few personal words can help explain why you chose this saint for them.

A painting and milestones of his life

Tiepolo's image depicts Jerome with shackles and a boy holding a book. On the other side appear Venice as his birthplace, his death in Somasca on 8 February 1537, his beatification in 1747 and his canonisation in 1767. The saint's name identifies the subject of the mug alongside these details.
