“Try Prayer! It Works!” Contest
In this national competition sponsored by Family Rosary, children participate in an inspiring faith experience as they express their faith through art, poetry and prose.
The contest is open to students K-12. This year’s theme, “Being about the work of my Father,” focuses on obedience and faithfulness. The participants will reflect on and express how they listen to God and how they do the work that God calls them to do, thereby living out the Fifth Joyful Mystery of the Rosary, The Finding of the Child Jesus in the Temple.
