Welcome Jessica from Shower of Roses!

I'm so excited to announce a few more regular bloggers that have been added to our Little Flowers blog! Jessica from Shower of Roses blog has agreed to share with all of you her wonderful ideas for your Little Flowers Girls' Club. A link to her blog is to the right.

Here is a brief biography:

Jessica is a Roman Catholic, Wife, and Home-Educating Mother to her 6 children ages 1-11, with two more blessings in heaven and another baby due to arrive this coming January 1st. She was Home-Educated herself, along with her 11 younger siblings, before attending Christendom College for one year. Jessica started leading a Little Flowers Girls' Club 3 years ago so that her daughters would have the opportunity to participate in Little Flowers, and has been blogging meetings at Shower of Roses. Jessica is also the founder and administrator of Catholic Cuisine, a group blog she created to share recipes for celebrating the feasts and seasons of the liturgical year.

Welcome Jessica! Can't wait to see what you have planned for this year!

What is 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 eleven, 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, 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!
