In November, we celebrate All Saints Day. One of those saints, St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus, was known as the Little Flower, because she compared herself to a small wildflower, growing and giving glory to God. She is known for her “Little Way” of living a holy life by doing small things with great love, and by drawing closer to Jesus through prayer and the sacraments.
For the November Junior Saints, students are invited to draw a picture and write about how they can draw closer to Jesus by their own “Little Way” of doing a small thing with great love at home or at school or in their community, or by praying or going to Mass. The drawings and writings should be emailed to ZimmermannM@adw.org by Monday Nov. 3, 2025 to Mark Zimmermann, the Catholic Standard’s editor, and they should include the name, grade and school or parish of the student printed clearly.
Due to time constraints involved with reviewing the volume of submitted work, it is requested that schools or parish religious education programs limit their entries to 10 drawings and 10 writings from their students. The best formats to send are jpegs for artwork and word documents or pdfs for writing, if possible. Please no long essays. Thank you!
