*Maryknoll is running an essay contest and the top prize is $1000.

Take a look under discussion topic on the St. Alphonsus Youth Group for further details or go to:
http://www.society.maryknoll.org/index.php?module=MKArticles&func=display&spotlight=1&id=12

Theme: In the Gospel of John (18:1-11), we read that when the soldiers came to arrest Jesus unjustly, Peter drew his sword to defend him. But Jesus told Peter, "Put away your sword." Today there are many instances where people are resorting to violence to solve problems.

Assignment: Describe a situation in the world today or in your own life in which Jesus would say, "Put away your sword." Explain what you would do to follow Jesus' command to promote peace instead of violence.

Rules: Grades 9–12 (Division II) qualify. Entries must be written in English. Only one entry per student.
Length: 500-750 words—English language only.

Prizes:
1st Prize $1,000 (division I – grades 6-8) and
$1,000 (division II – grades 9-12)
2nd Prize $300 for each division
3rd Prize $150 for each division

Deadline: Entries must be postmarked by Friday, Nov. 30, 2007. Contest winners will be notified by mid-February 2008. All entries become the property of Maryknoll and cannot be returned
