The Office of Family Life annually invites students to participate in a Pro-Life essay and poster contest. This year, the ministry also hosted a prayer contest. The activities are designed to bring awareness of the sacredness of human life from conception to natural death and promote its protection. Both contests centered around the theme: "Jesus showed us the Good News: Every Life is Precious."
Congratulations to the winners!
Elise Paredes, a freshman at St. Augustine High School, won the Pro-Life Essay Contest and the Prayer Contest.
Isabella Pici, a fourth-grader who is homeschooled, won the Pro-Life Poster Contest.
Humberto Garza, a nurse and parishioner at Christ the King Catholic Church, Laredo, won the Pro-Life Prayer Contest in Spanish.
