Hello St. Anthony parish parents!

We’re very excited to let you know that the next issue of our parish newsletter, The Voice, will feature submissions from the young people in our parish…your children!  We’re writing to ask for your help in making that happen.

The next edition will be published in April, the same month in which the Archdiocese will announce our new pastorates.  It seems appropriate that there be a connection between that announcement and the Voice’s theme, but we want to offer something to our readers that’s  fresh & light.  What better way to inspire hope and positivity than to hear from the future generation of our church! 

Specifically, we’re asking any/all of our parish’s K-12 students to submit an original piece of writing or drawing that speaks of some kind of change to inspire hope and positivity .  Any kind of change…in nature, in their lives, in their family, school, neighborhood, etc. 

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:

WRITTEN SUBMISSIONS

• Can be a paragraph or a poem
• No longer than 10 sentences or lines
• Must be either typed or neatly hand-written/printed

ARTWORK SUBMISSIONS

• Should use bold colors on white paper, 8 ½ x 11 inches
• No traced or computer-generated images

BE SURE TO INCLUDE:
