Knights of Columbus
State Essay Contest 2010
**********
The
Newfoundland and Labrador State Council of the Knights of Columbus is
sponsoring an essay writing contest. The topic was selected by our State
Chaplain, Monsignor Edwin Gale.
Religion
has obviously played and continues to play a significant role in the
lives of people of every culture and nation, presumably because it
addresses that most important question - what is life’s meaning, purpose
and goal, in a world that attempts to diminish the importance of
religion and belief in God.
Why do you consider it important in your life
today and in the future?
What challenges do you, as a young adult,
face in the practice of your faith?
What suggestions do you have to help young
people practice their faith today?
All
students from grades 7 to 12 are eligible . The essay
should be 500 words. An independent panel will judge the essays. The
prize winners will be announced at the Knights of Columbus convention in
May 2010.
First Prize - $200.00
Second Prize - $100.00
Third Prize - $50.00
Deadline for entries:

Mr. Emile Cabot
