Art and Essay Contest

Engage young people with Art & Essay Contests that inspire reflection on vocations through creativity. Open to parishes, Catholic schools, or religious education programs, these contests invite kids to explore priesthood, religious life, and sacramental marriage through drawings, poems, or essays. Themes like “Saying Yes to God” or “Jesus Came to Serve” spark faith and imagination. Parishes can host these events to foster connection, encouraging participants to express spiritual insights in unique, creative ways.

By blending faith with artistry, these contests make vocations exciting and relatable. Younger children create colorful illustrations, while older students write reflective essays, deepening their understanding of God’s call. This activity empowers youth to see the beauty of service through their own lens, fostering a personal connection to faith. Parishes can promote these contests to encourage participation, creating moments of reflection that resonate with students and families alike.
