Catholic Daughters of the Americas, Court #2222, St. Dominic Parish, last week held its annual education contest reception, honoring 20 fourth- through eighth-grade students for their entries in art, photography, computer art, poetry and essay.
The event was held in Marian Hall. St. Dominic students followed one of two themes: God’s love and kindness will shine upon us like the sun that rises in the sky (Luke 1:78) or How does my love shine for others?
Cheryl Jacobs Viscomi chaired the contest. In all, there were 123 entries.
The Rev. Brian Connolly, the parochial administrator, offered a prayer.
Principal Ralph Ciarroco and staff were also in attendance.
Division I consisted of fourth- and fifth-graders, while Division II consisted of sixth-, seventh- and eighth-graders.
