Registration is open for the Little Flowers Girls’ Club at St. John Nepomucene

Registration is open for the Little Flowers Girls’ Club at St. John Nepomucene

Registration is currently open through Friday, September 13th for the Little Flowers Girls’ Club at St. John Nepomucene! Little Flowers is open to girls in grades kindergarten through 3rd in the parish, schools and the local area.

St. John Nepomucene offers a modified version of Little Flowers, which is a Catholic girls 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.

August Explanation Station – St. John Nepomucene Adult Faith Formation

The Catholic Church is the oldest and largest branch of Christianity, with roots in Rome and a history that goes back almost 2,000 years. It was the only Christian church for the first 1,000 years of Christianity, and all other Christian churches today can trace their lineage back to it. 

The Catholic Church is led by the pope, who is also the Bishop of Rome, and rules from Vatican City, a separate country within Rome, Italy.

The Spierings Cancer Foundation’s 16th Annual Rock Cancer Event is scheduled for August 17th at Doyle Park in Little Chute starting at 1:00 p.m.!

Rock Cancer is the primary annual fundraiser for Spierings Cancer Foundation. It is a day-long celebration of life, music and fun, held on the 3rd Saturday of August each year at Doyle Park in Little Chute, WI. People of all ages come early and stay late to enjoy food, drink, games, raffles, a silent auction—and of course, plenty of music!

Funds raised during Rock Cancer provide financial support to local families affected by cancer, enhance medical care for patients in the Fox Cities and fund cancer research in Wisconsin.

Rock Cancer 15 was a HUGE SUCCESS! We are so grateful for our amazing community and the support you have shown over the years.

Our Rock Cancer Committee is the heart and soul of the event. Without this hard-working and dedicated team we would not have had this astounding success. We truly appreciate them. Learn more about the committee.

Together as a community, we have raised over 2 MILLION dollars to support the Spierings Cancer Foundation’s mission.

Rock Cancer Prayer Service
Join us on Thursday, August 15th at St. John Nepomucene Catholic Church from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. for our Rock Cancer Prayer Service. During this Prayer Service, we will stand with your loved ones who are battling cancer, honor the survivors and remember the ones who have passed away.
