General Announcements 

Vocations essay contest submissions sought from students in grades 7-12

The Serra Club of Indianapolis’ annual John D. Kelley Vocations Essay Contest is under way. It is open to any Catholic student in grades 7-12 in parochial, public or home school systems in the Archdiocese of Indianapolis.

The theme for this year’s contest focuses on saints and their devotion to the Eucharist. In one way or another, all the saints had a great devotion to the Eucharist. Moreover, only with the help of the Eucharist did any saint fulfill his or her vocation.

Participants are asked to pick a particular saint and describe that saint’s relationship with the Eucharist—how did their devotion to the Eucharist enable them to fulfill their vocation? How does this saint’s love of the Eucharist inspire you?

For more details and an essay submission form, contact your school religion teacher, religious education program instructor or parish catechist/youth minister. Information is also available from Serra Club member Dick Cannon at dickc610@gmail.com.

Submitted essays must be postmarked no later than March 17.
