The Spellman Council 6107, Knights of Columbus, is once again sponsoring an essay contest for all Catholic students in grades 8 through 12.  

 

Virtue is a habitual and firm disposition to do good. It governs our acts, orders our passions, and guides our conduct by reason and faith. It also encourages Christians to live in a relationship with the Holy Trinity. The call to live a virtuous life applies to individuals in every state of life and occupation, including our elected leaders.  

​

In an essay of 500-750 words, what are the two most important virtues for an elected leader to possess, and why?  How can you determine if the leader has these virtues? 

 

All entries must be submitted to Spellman Council 6107 Knights of Columbus by Friday, December 15, 2024.  Send essay and completed entry form to Walt Smolenski, 116 Van Cedarfield Rd, Colchester, Ct 06415.
