Hi Ladies,
We all know how
beautiful flowers are and how they enhance any setting. They beautify a
kitchen table, Blessed Mother’s altar, or any place where they can be
seen. An arrangement put together correctly should last a good two weeks
or more depending on what flowers are used so you can enjoy the fruits of your
labor for quite a while.
I would love to give a silk flower arranging
class to anyone interested for your sake and mine. One of the reasons is
we are looking for more help with the flower maintenance at St. Joseph’s Chapel
and this could be a great way for our Christian Mothers to discover a hidden
talent. The other reason is because we all love to pick up a new skill
(right?) and working with flowers is fun and rewarding. I will do a fresh
flower class sometime this year if there is interest but working
with silk first is less intimidating for someone new to the craft.
What you’re looking for are colors
that go well together, for example: red & white, blue &
yellow, purple & pink, brown & orange, etc. Try to follow a color
scheme (of your choice).
Below is a list of items you will need
to bring to the class and to save money I shop at St. Vincent de Paul
1st for silks, containers, and green
dry foam.
1. Small to medium container of
your choice
2. 3-5 stems
small “head” flowers for filler
3. 3-5 stems of
greenery
4. 3 larger single flowers, i.e. roses, carnations,
Gerbera daisies, etc. (these take the spotlight)
5. 5-7 stems of in between flowers: larger than
the flowers in item #2 but smaller than the larger flowers in item #4.
6. Small
chunk of dry foam (to fit snuggly in your container)
7. Strong wire cutters (2-3 ladies can share if we don’t have
enough)
8. 1-2 yards of ribbon to
match color scheme
(optional)
NOTES: *I would go first to second hand
stores like St. Vincent DePaul because they always have great treasures for
cheap and it can help keep your cost down.
If you have any questions please call and I
will do what I can to answer them.
Blessings to you Christian
Mothers! Lori Fameree (920)
826-4847 or (715) 927-1963 oremustruth@yahoo.com
P.S. Helping out with the flowers at St.
Joseph’s Oratory is completely optional so don’t hide your talent for fear of
recruitment! Ha

She has some info about the things you will need for that demonstration (found attached). If you don't want to participate in making an arrangement yourself, feel free to just come and enjoy the demonstration and socializing.

Canon Hellmann will again give us another inspiring Conference for our spiritual nourishment.
Our topic of discussion was decided at our November meeting and thus will be to continue discussing, "How to prepare our families & homes for Advent, and finish with how to prepare our families & homes for Christmas"
It is a great treat for everyone to share a dish or snack to pass if you have the time to bring something, but of course not required.
As always, all mothers & grandmothers are WELCOME to come and see what we are about & share their ideas. :) |

Our annual Mass & Communion in honor of the Seven Sorrows of the Blessed Virgin Mary, will be Thursday evening, September 15th, at 7:00 pm. This is a VERY important event for the Confraternity!!!! According to #8 of the Principal Rules and Regulations: "Twice a year, in addition to the regular monthly Communion, a general Communion should be held on the principal feast of the Confraternity (Sept. 15) and on such other day as the Director will appoint." Canon Hellmann expressed his wishes that he hopes as many members as possible will attend this Mass.
Following the Mass, there will be a Solemn Reception of new members if there are any this year, and installation of a new officer. Immediately following pictures of new members/officers there will be a social in the Chancery building (former Bosco). All the families are welcome, if possible please bringing a light snack to share.
If you are aware of any mothers or grandmothers that has shown an interest in becoming a CCM member please contact one of the officers, or email ccm.officers@gmail.com. |
