Hello & Welcome
Are you looking for a place to call your spiritual home?
Here at Little Flower, we strive to become a community of intentional disciples where each member feels welcomed and valued.
We hold that all people are created by God to live purposefully and joyfully. Here at Little Flower Parish we strive together to do this through “Encountering the Risen Lord Jesus Christ, Living as His missionary disciples, and Sharing His fullness of life in the spirit of St. Thérèse.”
“A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another”
(John 13:34-35 ESV-CE).
