Attention all girls ages five and up and their moms!
Pick up a rose, feel its soft petals, smell its wonderful fragrance, and admire its simple beauty. Would you like to become a Little Flower like this? You surely can!
The Little Flowers Girls’ Club® is a program that provides young Catholic girls, ages five and up, with an opportunity to gather and learn about their Catholic heritage, faith, and traditions. Together, the girls form a special community that builds friendships while learning what it means to be a Catholic girl.
The Little Flowers Girls’ Club® program consists of four “Wreaths” (Wreaths I, II, II, IV covered over four years). Each “Wreath” includes nine virtues. As an example, Wreath I includes the virtues of Faith, Hope, The Love of God, Love of Our Neighbor, Obedience, Piety, Humility, Industry, and Truthfulness.
Like a scouting program, girls earn badges for the virtues they have practiced and the life skills they have learned. What is unique is that the girls learn and earn their badges through a distinctly Catholic lens. The program relies on the stories of the saints, sacred Scripture, and the Catechism of the Catholic Church. As an example, this past year we learned about St. Catherine of Siena and St. Monica. The girls really enjoyed learning about the lives of these two saints, and the virtues they represent. They also earned their first badge, Faith, by demonstrating this virtue in their lives.
Beginning in September, we will meet two evenings per month (1st and 3rd Mondays) from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Meetings are held in the St. Irene mobile unit adjacent to the school parking lot. The cost of the program will be $35 which includes a Member Guide, Club Cross Patch, Blessed Mother Blue Sash, and set of ten badges that form a flower. In addition, we would reach out to each member to rotate snacks for meetings. Craft materials are graciously covered by the St. Irene Women of Faith Organization.
