Little Flowers

Little Flowers Girls' Clubs are a fun way to learn about the virtues, the saints and sacred scripture. Meetings involve a lesson on the life of a saint; discussion of and activities regarding a specific virtue as it relates to the saint's life; a craft and a snack. Little Flowers Girls' Clubs are a wonderful way for your daughter to make friends and become comfortable discussing her Catholic faith with peers.

Please remember that guidebooks must be purchased prior to the first meeting. Each mother/daughter pair will be responsible for ordering their own book. Details will be e-mailed to those who sign up. All meetings begin in September.

All of the Little Flowers groups will be doing Wreath I this year. Wreath I Members Guides are available at www.eccehomopress.com. There are also optional tshirts, sashes, Wreath I patches, etc., if you care to order those.

Little Flower Buds

The Little Flower Buds are for girls ages 4-5. Peggy Glenn is the coordinator. Little Buds meet the third Thursday of the month from 7:00 - 8:30 p.m.

The last meeting of the Little Flower Buds will be May 15 at the home of Maggie and Jenni Miller.

Hostess Mom’s responsibilities: prepare saint lesson, virtue lesson, craft (flower of the month) and a modest snack.  Other Moms’ responsibilities: supervise your daughters at meetings, making sure they are attentive and respectful; keep conversations with other mothers present quiet, so as not to disrupt the meeting; call the hostess mother if you will NOT be attending, so that we don’t wait for you to arrive.  Thanks!
