St. Joseph Novena

O St. Joseph, whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the Throne of God, I place in you all my interests and desires. O St. Joseph, do assist me by your powerful intercession and obtain for me from your Divine Son all spiritual blessings through Jesus Christ, Our Lord; so that having engaged here below your Heavenly power I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the most Loving of Fathers. O St. Joseph, I never weary contemplating you and Jesus asleep in your arms. I dare not approach while He reposes near your heart. Press Him in my name and kiss His fine Head for me, and ask Him to return the Kiss when I draw my dying breath. St. Joseph, Patron of departing souls, pray for us.

Amen

Little Flowers St. Therese Meeting

We held our Little Flowers first meeting of the year at Point Defiance once again.  The girls colored in a picture of St. Therese, decorated tote bags to hold their binders, ate lunch, sang Marian songs, and visited with each other.

In retrospect, the tote bag should have been a craft that we did during our first year of Little Flowers. Hopefully, next year we will be able to process through the Rose Garden, singing Marian songs again. 

May God bless the Little Flowers!
