The St. John Nepomucene Little Flowers Girls’ Club braved the chilly weather and went spreading Christmas cheer by ringing the bells for the Salvation Army at Festival Foods in Kimberly the week of December 8th! Great job ladies!
The St. John Nepomucene Little Flowers Girls’ Club were Mass greeters at the 10 am Mass
on November 9th and the group also brought items to donate to the St. John Nepomucene Food Pantry!
Special guest, Mrs. Ortner, taught the girls the importance of and how to pray the rosary for our first 2025-26 gathering of Little Flowers on October 12, 2025!
Thank you to all of our Little Flowers for a wonderful year! We met for our last meeting on February 18, 2025.
Congratulations to our 3rd graders: Kaylee, Violet, Anna, Alba, Vada, Alaina, Elsie, Vivienne and Lennon on their completion of the Little Flowers Girls’ Club at St. John Nepomucene!
So many smiles while learning about their Catholic faith in our 2024-25 program!
During the year, the Little Flowers were busy making cards for a special person in our lives, learned more about our faith, learned about Catholic saints, prayed the rosary, were Greeters at a 10 a.m. Mass and had many fun stations to participate in with our special person!
The St. John Nepomucene Little Flowers Girls’ Club rang bells in December for The Salvation Army. They rang bells in various shifts at the Festival Foods in Kimberly.
The Little Flowers learned about the Blessed Virgin Mary, virtues and saints in their Catholic faith. They also made a rosary and a care package for a loved one!
What is the St. John Nepomucene’s Little Flowers Girls Club®?
Little Flowers is a Catholic girl’s group centered on learning virtues by studying individual saints. Virtues are learned through presentations, crafts and activities. Each year a “wreath” is worked on for the blue Blessed Mother sashes the girls wear at the meetings. The wreath is made up of 9 flower petals for the 9 virtues studied that year. Petals are earned by participating in the monthly meetings, service projects, and completing follow-up activities at home.
What are virtues?
Virtues are good habits that help us to be holy. Some examples are obedience, sincerity, order, patience, flexibility, hospitality, and perseverance. The Catechism of the Catholic Church defines virtue as a “habitual and firm disposition to do good.”
Why be a Little Flower?
Little Flowers is not meant for just little girls…it is for girls (and moms – or aunt, grandma, etc.) who are growing in maturity and strength in their faith. Little Flowers is named after our patroness saint, Saint Therese of Lisieux, who was one of the very few saints named a doctor of the Church. St. Therese saw the world as God’s garden and each person being a different kind of flower. She wrote in her diary that she saw herself as “the Little Flower of Jesus”, just simple and hidden but blooming where God has planted her. Following the example of saints, Little Flowers will put into practice the virtues they study as a means of developing a strong foundation to grow into the life that God is calling them to lead as Catholic girls.
Membership
Little Flowers is open to girls in grades kindergarten through 3rd in the parish, schools and the local area. We will meet 5 times throughout the school year on a Sunday (may have a meeting on a different day though) at St. John Nepomucene Parish.
Mother Participation
Little Flowers was essentially developed as a mother/daughter club. We ask that mothers (or suitable substitute) consider attending each event with their daughter. Little Flowers Girls Club® has thrived on their involvement with the program, and the girls seem to listen to and enjoy them being there with them. We need your help!
