The Knights of Columbus Council 7677 congratulates Ellie Mary Marrone for obtaining 1st place in Council 7677's Catholic Citizenship Essay Contest. Ellie is an eighth grade student at St. Gregory the Great Academy.
This year's theme discussed how trusting in God during a difficult time has helped the participant, or someone the participant knows, find the strength and hope to endure. Having won on the Council level, Ellie's essay now will move forward to compete at the District level, and then perhaps to the statewide, and national levels. Read Ellie's winning essay here.
Schools across our area were invited to participate in Council 7677's contest, so this is a great achievement not only for Ellie, but for the Academy. Congratulations, Ellie!
