CAMP LITTLE FLOWER

Rev. Raney Johnson, Cathedral of St. John Berchmans Administrator

THIS PAST JULY, THE DIOCESE OF SHREVEPORT HOSTED THE FIRST EVER SESSION OF CAMP LITTLE FLOWER. The first session of camp had 71 campers from around the diocese. Campers took part in traditional camp activities, such as archery, swimming and canoeing.

They also had the opportunity to go to Mass each day, pray the rosary, and participate in the Little Way Program to learn about the camp’s patroness, St. Therese of Lisieux, the Little Flower.

Through the spiritual programming at Camp Little Flower, the campers learned how to follow the Little Way of St. Therese and do the ordinary things of life well so they may grow in holiness. Jared Simoneaux, the Co-Director, and I would like to thank all the counselors and members of the leadership team who helped us throughout the week. We also want to thank all of our donors who made it possible for our campers to have a fun week at Camp Little Flower.

We look forward to next summer, and we are actively planning for camp next year. Please be looking out for more information about Camp Little Flower 2024 throughout the year.
