The NH Knights of Columbus is sponsoring a "Student Respect Life" essay contest. The contest is open to any junior high (grades 6,7,8) and senior 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 “ Even though the Supreme Court ruled there is no 'right'” to abortion in the Constitution (Dobbs), many mothers still experience fear and uncertainty. What can I do to help make abortion unthinkable?”

Deadline is midnight, Thursday, 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).
