2007 RESPECT LIFE POSTER & T-SHIRT CONTEST

Directors of Religious Education, Catholic School Teachers and Youth Ministers were invited to help young people in grades K-12 to participate in the 2007 Respect Life Poster & T-Shirt Contest. The contest was developed as a means of including our children and youth in the celebration of Life during October (Respect Life month). Each entry this year was expected to reflect the theme: "The Infant in My Womb Leaped for Joy." Grades K-6 were asked to create posters depicting the theme. Grades 7-12th were asked to create a T-shirt design. The winning T-shirt design will be used on the Cathoic Diocese of Saginaw T-shirt of those attending the March for Life in Washington, D.C., on January 22, 2008.
