Little
Flowers Girls' Club®

__________________________________________________________________
Little Flowers Girls' Club® is a
Catholic program for girls ages 5 and up based on learning Catholic virtues
through the lives of Catholic saints, Scripture and the Catechism of the
Catholic Church. Developed by a Catholic mom of nine, Rachel Watkins, and
based on Fr. Lasance's Catholic Girls' Guide, the Club strives to
bring the Catholic faith alive and inspire the girls to become authentic
Catholic women.
Nine virtues are included in each of
three different Wreaths or years of study. A fourth year, studying the
fruits of the Spirit is also available. The format of the Clubs is flexible,
with groups meeting monthly, bi-monthly or weekly. Badges for the virtues
are earned by studying the saint associated with the virtue, memorizing
relevant scripture verses and studying the Catechism. The program is
flexible enough to use with a variety of age groups. Little Flowers Girls'
Club® has also been successfully implemented in the family. Sashes, vests,
skirts, bandanas, t-shirts and other items are extras that add to the
experience, but are not necessary to running a successful Club.
The Leader's Guide for each Wreath
offers suggestions for running meetings, planning crafts and activities,
talks on virtues and other relevant information.
The Member's Guide includes the
activities, saints' biographies, pictures of the saints, and prayers for
each girl. Each of the girls in the Club should purchase their own Member's
Guide.
Other items that leader's find useful
are the Memory Verse CD/Cassettes, the Tea and Luncheon Manual and the Craft
Companion and Merit Certificates.
Leader's should have fun with the
program and use the flexibility to choose the items that are right for your
group's needs. God bless you in your work for His work!
