Another school year is coming to an end; and with it we also have the results from the yearly Catholic Families Student Contest. This year's theme was: "The Missionary Family" Students, working with their families and/or teachers, were to showcase their God-given talents in art, writing, music or video creations reflecting this year's theme. Results follow here...

Ordinary time and Summer time can be a wonderful time to grow in virtue...as families grow their vegetable and flower gardens, too.

Pope Francis reminds us: “Christian families are missionary families... the salt of the earth and the light of the world... the leaven of society.” If you’re a student in grades 4th to 12th and have talent for art, music, writing poetry or creating videos; this is your chance to win prizes for your submissions. Deadline is February 15th. Details online at Catholic Student Contest or contact Socorro Truchan at struchan@diokzoo.org

The main focus is on Jesus - his birth, life, death, and resurrection. Pray it often or daily...on your way to school, to work. Pray it alone. Pray it with your spouse. Pray it with your family, your friends...

The contest is coordinated by Socorro Truchan, Associate Director of the diocesan Domestic Church ministry office and prizes are provided by the generous support of the Knights of Columbus. This year’s contest theme, “Life is a Gift”, highlights Pope Francis’ call to be “sanctuaries of respect for life, proclaiming the sacredness of every human life from conception to natural death.”

Thank you to all the students, families and schools who participated in this (school) year's Student Contest. The theme: "Life is a Gift" - We received many beautiful art, writing, video and musical entries from very talented students around the Diocese of Kalamazoo and beyond...
