Little Flower Tea Party and Badging Ceremony

 

 

 

Our first badging ceremony was beautiful thanks to the hard work of a special family.  We enjoyed pink tea (lemonade) and each Little Flower shared 13 things they gave to each of the other girls as an act of loving thy neighbor.  The 13 items could be anything the Little Flower chose.  We had prayer notebooks, rosaries, pencils, cookies, quotes, bookmarks, and prayer cards.  Next, each mother presented their daughter with the badges she had earned thus far in our journey through Wreath I.  Each Little Flower earned her badge of faith, hope, Love of God, and Love of Neighbor. 

 

 

 

 

Our next project is hosting the Mardi Gras Fellowship for our Catholic Community.  The girls worked very hard preparing decorations and games we will be sharing with our parishioners on Sunday!  The Little Flower Group is definitely growing the virtue of Loving thy Neighbor and a Love of God!

Dear Little Flowers and Families,

Meeting update

Little Flowers and Families,

You will see I posted my favorite ideas from other Little Flower Groups.  At the last meeting we divided up our last few meetings and assigned families to be responsible for the craft that corresponds with the different saints. 

St. Frances de Chantal:  February 17th Tea Party and badge presentation.  Each Little Flower is to bring one item for each Little Flower as we show "Love of neighbor".  This can be as simple as a card, prayer, or an item to share at our Tea Party. 

March 3rd St. Joan of Arc: Caitlin and Sarah are responsible for the craft. The virtue is obedience, the color is white, and the flower is the carnation.

March 17th St. Cecilia:  Mary, Hannah, and Grace are responsible for the craft.  The virtue is piety,  the color is blue and the flower is the forget-me-not.

April 7th St. Catherin Laboure:  Evelyn is responsible for the craft (bring tin foil and cardboard) we are making miraculous medals. I will try and post the pictures of the craft.  The virtue is humility, the color is violet, and the flower is the violet.

April 21st St. Frances Xavier Cabrini: Julie and Bella.  The virtue is industry, the color is yellow, and the flower is the daffodil.

May 5th St. Bridget of Sweden: Leah and Audrey.  The virtue is truthfulness, the color is light orange, and the flower is the narcissus.

We have had to speed things up so we get through everything for wreath I by summer.  Please let me know ahead of time if you need anything or if you can't do your designated day.     Please mark your calendar now for our final badging ceremony, May 19th and invite  your entire family to attend this meeting.

Family Night/Mardi Gras

Hello Minot Little Flowers,

We 'volunteered' to host the Mardi Gras celebration following Mass March 2nd.  This would be a great time for us to prepare and implement our Family Faith Night and incorporate that with the Mardi Gras celebration.  I have posted the pictures and descriptions of the other Family Faith Night that a Little Flower Group presented for their church.  These are just ideas, feel free to come up with your own ideas for games or crafts.  I am asking that each family choose one idea and be responsible for implementing it on March 2nd.  Please post what your family would like to do.  I think if we all work together we may come up with all the supplies we need between the families and the Church supplies.  Thank you for your support with this endeavor.  I believe we can give our Catholic Community quite a fun and faith filled fellowship prior to the Lenten season.
