The Spiritual Formation of our students occurs daily with our encounters with God and with each other and this formation is deepened through our Theology Classes and School Ministry Program.

IMPORTANT NEWS REGARDING MASS INTENTIONS
At this time, Little Flower will not be accepting requests for “Mass intentions”. For the foreseeable future, Mass will be offered twice a week at Little Flower High School.
Please feel free to send us your prayer intentions. These intentions will be placed in a special basket on our altar. Mass intentions, previously requested, will need to be
combined in our biweekly celebration of the Holy Mass.

Daily Prayer during homeroom and at the end of the day - Prayer is essential to our academic, moral, emotional, and spiritual development. When prayer is being offered everyone will stand in silence in respect for these sacred moments of grace. If you are in the hallways when prayer is offered students must stand and remain where you are in reverent silence until the conclusion of the prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance. 

Morning Prayer is offered for the school community at 8:00 each morning. These prayers unite us as a community as an acknowledgment for God to strengthen us and sustain us through the day. We bookend our week with prayers to our Patron - Saint Therese of Lisieux. Our week begins with the Novena Rose Prayer, and on Friday we pray the Daily Offering.  

St. Francis’ Peace Prayer is prayed at the beginning of 8th period:

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace; Where there is hatred let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy. O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled, as to console; to be understood, as to understand; to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen.
