Little Flower Award The Little Flower Award is a special recognition inspired by St. Thérèse of Lisieux, also known as the Little Flower.

Her message is a reminder that even small, everyday actions can help build God's kingdom when they are done with love. Students and faculty can nominate one another for this award throughout the year by recognizing "little ways of showing great love." These nominations celebrate individuals who, like St. Thérèse, embody love daily, reflecting her belief that "without Love, deeds, even the most brilliant, count as nothing." This award will be celebrated during Friday morning assembly throughout the year.
