Keeping Christ in Christmas – in word and art

Congratulations to our winners!
    The Council of Catholic School Cooperative Clubs sponsors the annual Keep Christ in Christmas poster, essay and poetry contest. The Office of Catholic Schools selected winners in three divisions: grades 3-5, 6-8 and 9-12.
    In addition, the Office of Religious Education judged entries from children who attend parish schools of religion.
    The winning entries on pages 18 and 19 are inspiring reminders of the true meaning of Christmas.
    The contest also is promoted by the Christ in Christmas Committee, which each year coordinates the placement of “Keep Christ in Christmas” billboards throughout the archdiocese of New Orleans. This year, a record 49 billboards were put up.
