What is a simple way to explain Catholicism to someone?

Catholics belong to a Christ-centered faith community that views Jesus Christ as the foundation. Catholics share Jesus’ vision and model their lives after Jesus’ example of love. Catholics are called to care for one another and to use their unique gifts and talents for the good of the community and the world.

St. John Nepomucene Little Flowers Girls’ Club had great success with Ringing Bells on December 11th!

St. John Nepomucene Little Flowers Girls’ Club had great success with Ringing Bells on December 11th!

The St. John Nepomucene Little Flowers Girls’ Club rang bells on Monday, December 11th for The Salvation Army. They rang bells in various shifts at the Piggly Wiggly in Little Chute and at Walgreens in Little Chute.

For the entire day, the kettles where the Little Flowers were participating, raised over $550 for The Salvation Army’s programs and services! A huge thank you to everyone who contributed and made the girls’ day by saying “hi” or taking a candy cane from them. We pray that everyone has a blessed holiday season!
