Little Flowers

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. Girls earn badges in the shape of a flower petal to sew on their sash as recognition for their accomplishments.

St. Antony’s group meets monthly on the 2nd Friday of every month from 5:30-7:30 pm. Contact Carrie Caro at carodcaro@hotmail.com (540)775-3481 for more information on St. Anthony’s group or visit www.eccehomopress.com for information regarding Little Flowers as a whole.
