St. Catherine Laboure

 
Our Little Flower Group had so much fun learning about St. Catherine Laboure and the virtue of Humility.  The girls had enjoyed creating their own Miraculous Medals from tin foil.  Our group leaders for the night came very prepared. Each girl received a foam envelope with pre-cut pieces of tin foil that matched their paper stencils of the front and back of the medal.  The girls then used dull colored pencils to trace the medal onto the tin foil using the foam as the backing as they traced, so they did not poke through the tin foil. 
 
 
 



 Once the girls had completely traced the medal onto the tin foil they filled in the outlines they made with colored Sharpie Markers. 

Once each side of the medal was traced on to the two separate pieces of tin foil we attached t

 
Each Little Flower was so happy to receive a blessed Miraculous Medal from our teachers tonight.  The family who hosted our night dedicated to St. Catherine Laboure had actually traveled to her shrine in Paris and bought the medals each Little Flower received this evening.  That is one of the benefits of being a Little Flower Girls Group on a military base, we have very well traveled members who are able to share so much of their Catholic faith from around the world!  What a special night!
