Essay Contest - We are participating in the Supreme Council Catholic Citizenship Essay Contestthis year.  The contest is designed for students in grades 8 – 12.  We are inviting the youth of SJEand the Teens Ministry to participate.  The project will start in mid November, and judging will takeplace in January.  The theme this year is “The Responsibility of the Catholic Citizen in a FreeSociety”.  By their actions and decisions, today’s young Catholics will play a major role in the future ofthe Church.  Strengthening the foundation of Catholic principles in the hearts and minds of youngpeople is of paramount importance.  The Order’s Catholic Citizenship Essay Contest is a creative wayto encourage young people to become firmly grounded in their faith.
