CATHOLIC CITIZENSHIP ESSAY CONTEST
STATE WINNERS
The judging is finished and we have the winners of the 2023-2024 Catholic Citizenship Essay Contest winners for the jurisdiction of Michigan.
The theme this year was meaningful to the Church and all youth: ‘How can the Church evangelize in the digital
age?’.
From across the state, over 40 essays were submitted from youth, grades 8 through 12, and judged on content, grammar, and style. Judging was done by high school level teachers.
