Little Flower Church is proud be taking part in the "PROTECTING GOD'S CHILDREN" program which comes to us from the "VIRTUS" organization of the NATIONAL CATHOLIC RISK RETENTION GROUP, INC. This program is sponsored by the Diocese of Springfield in Illinois and is a training program by which all volunteers and employees of our parish who have ministerial work with children are taught certain guidelines for the protection both of the minister and for the children to whom they are ministering. While we are still in the process of training all such ministers, we are wholly devoted to the safe education and faith formation of our children and youth who are of such profound importance to the lives of our parish community and of our families.
