Father Lawless Council #1534 would like to invite your school, or you as an individual (if your school is not participating) to take part in the Knights of Columbus “Keep Christ in Christmas” poster contest for all boys and girls from ages 5 through 14. By engaging the talents of our young people, we hope they will come to a deeper understanding of the true meaning of Christmas, and that their artwork will bring others to remember Christ in Christmas.
The contest will be conducted locally with winning entries advancing through district/regional and state competitions to the international level. The winning entries will serve as the basis for a series of international “Keep Christ in Christmas” posters, with creative credit going to the artists. Our hope, if we are permitted to (and if not too costly), is to create a series of Christmas cards of the city’s winners, that would then be available to your schools as a fund raiser next year.
The Knights of Columbus is one of the country’s largest charitable organizations, with members donating more than $170 million to charitable and benevolent causes and 70.5 million volunteer hours last year. Among the many public services Knights provide is their long-standing “Keep Christ in Christmas” program, which features faith-based local events and public service announcements.
