Little Flowers Little Flowers is a Catholic girls club that studies virtues in
As each virtue is studied, the girls earn badges and these are proudly worn on a sash. They meet on Tuesdays at 4 in The Family Room as they join to strengthen their Catholic faith. One core virtue is the focus of each week, and the girls also study a selected Saint each month and complete a related craft project. They join in fun, fellowship and faith to draw closer to God. The parent handbook which is a guide for Little Flowers follows a 4 year cycle with each studying 7-10 virtues per year. One group is entering its 4th year of study and this group will study the Fruits of the Spirit:
Meetings are once a month ( the first Tuesday at 4PM) and last one hour. Most of the learning takes place at home as the girls complete their study with their parents. All young girls 5-15 years of age are invited to become members of Little Flowers! New groups are formed according to the interest expressed by parishioners, so if you'd like your daughter to be a member of our Little Flowers, contact Patricia Davis (830) 606-1630
Our Cub Scout program is designed for boys in first through fifth grades. Cub Scouts encourages development of character and spiritual growth. The various scouting groups are listed below as well as the grade level and the contact person. If you are interesting in having your son become a Cub Scout, please contact the person listed for each group. Each can inform you as to when and where their groups meets.
Each grade level group has a set of accomplishment to meet in order to get badges. The boys strive hard to achieve their badges and are very proud of their accomplishments. One special event held in the spring that all boys take part in is the Pinewood Derby. Each boy designs and creates a pinewood car and races it in the local Pinewood Derby. It's quite an exciting competition!
The Pack Meeting for all groups is held the third Thursday of each month at 6:30 p.m. at the Knights of Columbus Hall. For information about the Cub Scouting program contact either John or Wendy Koenig at (830) 980-6724.
