Little Flower Church

Specialties

Church of the Little Flower was the second Catholic Church in Broward County. Mass was celebrated at the new mission church by Father Michael Mullaly with only a suitcase packed with vestments, two candles, a wooden chalice and a statue of the new saint Therese, known as the little flower. The new Catholic church celebrated mass in several locations because no church building had been built yet. With faith and determination, in a tough economic time for the parishioners, the people of the Little Flower community raised the funds and provided the labor to build the first church at the corner of Van Buren Street and 20th Avenue. Little Flower is part of a complete campus along with the school facilities and Chapel of Roses. On May 5, 1994, a plaque was unveiled commemorating the buildings of the LIttle Flower parish as a historical site in Hollywood.
