Challenge Girls
_____________________________________________________________________
|
|
|

Challenge
is a national
leadership club
for girls in
grades 5-9.
Meets weekly.
Strategy:
leaders form
leaders. High
school Challenge
girls serve as
role models and
teachers for the
younger girls.
These team
leaders plan and
run the
meetings,
teaching the
younger girls
about a specific
virtue or aspect
of the Catholic
faith through
the use of a
Gospel
Reflection,
games, and other
activities.
Motto:
Challenge
yourself,
Challenge
others, and
Challenge the
world. The girls
participate in
regular
apostolic
service projects
that seek to
serve others and
bring them
closer to
Christ.
Objective:
to explore our
Catholic
faith, form
friendships, and
serve our parish
and community in
an atmosphere of
Christian
charity. The
girls also have
the opportunity
to attend local
Challenge camps,
retreats, and to
receive regular
spiritual
direction.
Challenge is an
affiliate of
Mission Network,
sponsored by
Regnum
Christi. For
more info or to
register go to
www.challengeclubs.net.
The St. Veronica
Challenge
Club meets from Sept. to
May.

Meets weekly
A mother/daughter
club that provides
young Catholic
girls,
ages 5 & up, the
opportunity to learn
about the virtues
and our Catholic
heritage, faith and
traditions. There is
already a part of
you that has said
yes to God. Little
Flowers nurtures and
supports that part
in our daughters’
early years.
Do
all the moms have to
be at the all the
meetings?
No, we have a group
of moms that have
volunteered to run
every meeting.
The moms that cannot
help run the
meetings help with
other jobs that can
be done from home.
The Little Flowers
Girls’ Club was
meant for mothers
and daughters to
work together. For
that reason we will
provide a “Family
Activity Sheet” to
give the moms, or
whole family, the
opportunity to sit
together and talk
about our faith to
expand and
re-enforce the
virtue that we are
exploring.
During the meetings
the girls will learn
about a virtue, the
female saint that
represents such
virtue, how our
Blessed Mother
displayed the virtue
or how we as
Catholics live that
virtue; in order to
earn the badge for
each virtue.
Through the year we
have different
activities were the
girls perform some
Works of Mercy:
visiting the elderly
at a Nursing Home,
collecting items for
charitable
organizations, etc.
The girls help with
the monthly “Cub
Scouts/Little
Flowers Donuts
Sales”. The
donations allow us
to help charities,
and to fund other
projects.
Membership fee to
cover snacks,
supplies and
crafts.
