VASJ students win LifeWorks Ohio ‘Respect Life’ contest

Eight Villa Angela-St. Joseph High School students were named winners in the LifeWorks Ohio “Respect Life” Art, Essay and Poetry Contest.
 
The competition was open to students in grades 4-12 and allowed them to express their commitment to God’s gift of life through art, essay and poetry while reflecting on a Biblical theme. The 2020 theme was: "...be of one mind, sympathetic, loving toward one another, compassionate."
1 Peter 3:8
 
Students could participate by creating hand-drawn art, digital art, an essay, or a poem. More than 2,000 entries were submitted in this year’s contest.
