The Knights of Columbus sponsors the Catholic Citizenship Essay Contest to encourage today’s youth to be more connected to their community and their faith. The goal of this program is to involve young Catholics in 8th Grade from St. John Fisher in civic discourse and instill in them religious and life-affirming values. The essays are approximately 500-750 words. Essays are judged on grammar, style, and how clearly they present the theme – which should showcase creativity, imagination and overall development of the topic. This year's topic was:
Discuss how trusting in God during a difficult time has helped you or someone you know find the strength and hope to endure it. Consider especially those times when it was a challenge to understand why something was happening. Consider also sharing any lessons about faith and hope you or someone you know may have learned from this experience.
