Sts Louis & Zelie Martin,
Parents of St. Therese of Lisieux
Sts. Louis Martin and Zélie Guérin were the parents of nine children, five of whom became nuns and 4 that died in
childbirth, including the future St. Therese of Lisieux.
Louis was a watchmaker and Zélie was a lacemaker
when they married in France in 1858. With the success
of Zélie’s lacemaking, Louis stopped watchmaking to
help his wife’s business and to help educate the children.
Upon Zélie’s death in 1877, when Therese (the youngest)
was only 4, Louis continued to care for and educate his
children, including teaching them about the faith.
Louis and Zélie serve as role models for
living the sacrament of matrimony, parenting, and life in
church at home. They were canonized together on
October 18, 2015, making them the first couple to be
canonized together. They are known as the patron saints
for marriage, parenting, family life and widowers.
