  • Little Flowers & Children’s Liturgy of the Word

    Jesus said: “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them,
    for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these. “ Matthew 19:14

    Jesus called us to welcome children in His name. St. Theresa, the Little Flower, taught us we can become like children by knowing the joy of little things, through small acts of service, through prayer, and the little way that leads to God.  Here at St. Theresas, we honor our Baptismal call and our patron St. Theresa.  Our vision is for your newly baptized child, your Little Flower, to Come Grow With Us!

    We have Little Flowers' Children’s Liturgy most Sundays during the 10 AM Family Mass except when we have a Baptism (third Sunday of the month).  Children are dismissed after the introductory rites of the Mass and gather in another room to hear the Sunday Gospel reading and a reflection in an age-appropriate format. Children then have the opportunity to ask questions and discuss the Gospel reading. Through song, we learn and recite the Creed and say the Prayers of the Faithful together. Afterward, the children return to Mass before the Liturgy of the Eucharist.  Any child may participate- no registration is necessary. For more information please visit the CLOW FAQ.

    We also have Little Flowers Nursery Care for the 10 AM Family Mass. This ministry seeks to create connection and community for our littlest flowers (newborn-3) in a safe and fun environment. Registration is necessary, but once you are registered, feel free to “drop in” any Sunday you attend 10 AM Mass on a first come first serve basis. Contact Kendall Solé for more information. If you are interested in helping in the nursery, volunteer here.

  • Little Flowers Monthly Lesson - March

    Lent began on Ash Wednesday, and is based on Jesus’ time in the dessert, in prayer and fasting, before starting his public ministry. We use Lent to reconnect with God.  And in doing so, we are preparing for Easter which is our holiest of days.  Depending upon the ages of your children, you may want to give up something or at the very least fast from meat on Fridays.  On the Sundays during Lent, there is no fasting (why Lent is 40 days not 46). If you don’t already have some Lenten traditions, try incorporating some of these Special 7 into your family life:
        1.    On Ash Wednesday go to Church and receive ashes (we are marked with a cross- a sign of suffering and a sing of healing) to begin our Lenten journey. 
        2.    Create a Lenten prayer altar and include things such as: a cross, prayer books, a bible, a jar or bowl to collect money & donate this to a charity you care about ($ you would spend on what you are fasting from), or anything else that might help you set apart Lent as a holy season.
        3.    Plant some seeds (in a pot or in your garden) and talk about growing; order a caterpillar growing kit (add to garden) and watch the wonderful metamorphosis process to butterfly.
        4.    Pray the Stations of the Cross on Friday evening.  It’s really important to teach our children what happened and there are many books and videos to assist you with this. St. Theresa holds Stations targeted for families with children on the last Friday of Lent. 
        5.    Fast from meat on Fridays. A fun Friday meal for kids is pizza pretzels (twist pizza dough in shape of pretzels and add vegetarian toppings).  Pretzels have religious significance: early Christians fasted from eggs or dairy products during Lent so monks came up with this simple recipe (flour & water) and shaped into folded prayer arms with the three empty holes representing the Trinity.
        6.    Try and learn and do one corporal act of mercy such as: creating care packages for homeless persons; visiting the cemetery; preparing a food bag for food drive or food bank; donating toys, games, blankets, towels to a local shelter.
        7.    Try and learn and do one spiritual act of mercy such as: lighting a candle at church and praying for someone.
