The NH Knights of Columbus is once again sponsoring a Student Respect Life Essay Contest. The contest is open to any Jr-High (grades 6,7,8) and Sr-High (grades 9,10,11,12) student in NH. The NH Knights of Columbus will make up to six cash awards of $100. You do not have to be a member of the Knights or a Catholic.
The theme for this year’s contest is:
“Scandal is doing or saying something that encourages others to do wrong. What would you say to Catholics who publicly advocate and support abortion, thus giving scandal, and compromising their own & other’s salvation?"
Deadline is midnight, Dec 15.
Rules: Essays may not be longer than 500 words; typed, and submitted as a PDF or Word Document and emailed to matu19@comcast.net. Include student name, age, grade, school, parent name and address, phone, parish and email.
Students may obtain help and information, including from parents, teachers, friends, and internet, but the essay itself must be their own work.
Further contest details may be obtained from KofC NH contest chairman John P. Matuszewski 603-434-4098 or KofC NH State Pro-Life Chairman Ron Distasio 603-595-7837.
