Vocation essay contest announced for students in the Diocese of Corpus Christi

The Offices of Vocations and Youth Ministry in the Diocese of Corpus Christi are sponsoring an essay contest open to all Catholic students in the diocese. There are categories for elementary, middle school and high school students.

Participants can select one or all three of the following questions for their essay: What is your understanding of the priesthood or religious life today? What does it take to give your whole life to Christ? Which religious person (priest or sister) do you most admire and why? How has this person(s) influenced you most and how?

The deadline to submit an entry is Dec. 14 and winners will be announced and presented at the annual ministry conference scheduled for Jan. 9, 2016 at the American Bank Center.
