Registration is OPEN for the Little Flowers Girls’ Club at St. John Nepomucene
Registration is currently open through Friday, September 12th for the Little Flowers Girls’ Club at St. John Nepomucene! Little Flowers is open to girls in grades kindergarten through 3rd grade 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.

FORMED Video of the Month for August – St. John Nepomucene
The FORMED Video of the Month is “Radiating Joy: The Michelle Duppong Story”. The Michelle Duppong story is the story of Servant of God Michelle Duppong, who bore witness to Christ through heroic suffering and a passion for inviting others to be transformed by His love.
In 2014, Michelle was unexpectedly diagnosed with cancer while serving as the Director of Adult Faith Formation for the Diocese of Bismarck. Before that, Duppong had served as a FOCUS missionary for six years. She battled the disease with perseverance and a docile spirit until December 25, 2015, when she passed away at the age of 31. On November 1, 2022, Bishop David Kagan celebrated the Opening Mass for the Cause of Canonization.
We invite you to experience and learn more about “Radiating Joy: The Michelle Duppong Story”. To view the video, please click here!

August Explanation Station – St. John Nepomucene Adult Faith Formation
Do you know what love looks like?
According to St. Augustine, love has the hands to help others. Love has the feet to hasten to the poor and needy. Love has the eyes to see misery and want in a hurting world. Love has the ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of our brothers and sisters who suffer. This is what love looks like.
