Flower School continues to offer a Catholic Education in
the tradition of St. Therese of the Little Flower.
We just
celebrated her feast day! Our enrollment is up to 169. Like
St. Therese … we’re small but we’re active.
The school has been awarded various gifts and grants to purchase “smart
boards” and other computer technology.
The Church organ has been renovated. Dr. Barbara Harbach,
our internationally renowned, recorded and accomplished composer
leads the choir. This past Easterside, Dr. Harbach organized
an Evensong
for the Parish where several groups and performers came to
our Church for joyous Easter Music.
This
past year, we hosted a Parish Mission. It was the brain-child
of our very active RCIA
Team, the Adult Christian Formation and Liturgical Committees.
Sr. Carol Schumer D.C. worked closely
with these groups and the Redemptorists (who moved in for
about a week) to create a grace-filled time with a “most colorful” conclusion.
The
Christian Formation Commission has executed many activities
such as the Tour de Saints
(highlighting
some of the statues of our Church)
and
now
a theological
program on the virtues.
Do
you hear the bells? The Little Flower liturgical repertoire
now has a bell tree. And you and your friends are invited to
donate a bell! The bell will be put on a mobile bell tree that
is rung in procession at the beginning of every special celebration
(i.e. school opening, First Holy Communion, Christmas, Easter,
etc.). Bells have been donated by parish members who have since gone to God. However, their bells on the tree continue to ring
out the glory of our celebrations.
We also have torch bearers that add solemnity to our formal
celebrations. Sr. Cynthia Kozicki, O.S.F., our dedicated sacristan,
asked her nephew to create torches. Our school children now
have another way in which to actively participate in our solemn
liturgies.
Each November, the feasts of All Saints and All Souls, we
remember and celebrate the lives of our own late loved ones
and the deceased members of the Little Flower family. Please
let us know the names of your loved ones so we can include
them in our prayers.
Thanks again for your interest, love and support. May God
reward your efforts and endeavors.
In God’s
service,
Fr. Lawrence Herzog And Staff
