We are interested in forming a committee to plan a Little Flower Alumni Event and would love your help. If you would like to help us gets this event rolling, please contact the rectory. It would be a wonderful opportunity to gather all past Little Flower graduates and reconnect with friends, share incredible memories, and see what a great place Little Flower still is. Please, email Barb Schlanger, at the rectory if you are interested

If you are aware of others that may be interested in this endeavor, please contact them and have them contact the rectory regarding this upcoming event.

Little 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
