The KoC Council #7677 Sponsors an Essay Contest for Catholic Students
-
All Catholic students in public, private, and parochial schools grades 8-12 are invited to participate in the 2020 Knights of Columbus Catholic Citizenship Essay Contest hosted by the Saint Gregory the Great Knights of Columbus Council 7677.
Students are encouraged to write a 500 to 750-word essay discussing how trusting in God during a difficult time has helped them or someone they know find the strength and hope to endure it. Consider especially those times when it was a challenge to understand why something was happening. Consider also sharing any lessons about faith and hope the student or someone the student knows may have learned from this experience.
All students interested in participating should obtain a Catholic Citizenship Essay Contest Entry Form (Click for PDF)
