Brother Martin is pleased to announce the winners of the “Joy of the Resurrection”  essay contest, with this year’s topic being “The Call to Discipleship." Brother Martin was excited to partake again in this essay contest with these young adults in 5th, 6th, and 7th grades during this Easter season. These students were challenged to consider these questions: How are we today, in 2022, “called to discipleship”? How can we spread the “Good News” of Jesus in our homes, schools, and communities?

We are pleased to continue this opportunity to partner with our families of schools and parishes to showcase our young adults and their understanding of Easter.
