John D. Kelley 2010 Vocations Essay Contest
Theme: "Come and See"
Students in grades seven through 12 are invited to write an essay that answers this question,
Essay Question: How do priests, deacons, and religious brothers and sisters, by their life and ministry, invite others to come and see Christ and discover their own vocations?
Packets with contest rules and procedures were mailed recently to pastors, principals, parish administrators of religious education and Catholic school religion teachers across the archdiocese.
The deadline for essay contest entries is Feb. 12. Teachers and catechists may choose one or two essays from each grade to be submitted to the contest. A Serra Club committee will read and judge the entries. One winner from each grade will be chosen, receive a cash prize, be invited to read his or her essay at a recognition luncheon and have the essay published in The Criterion.
The Criterion published a vocations supplement on January 8, 2010 related to this years theme, "Come and See". Information about the contest and contest materials are under the “News and Announcements” heading at www.archindy.org/oce.
