Keep Christ in Christmas Poster Contest

Once again, the Knights of Columbus are hosting the keep Christ in Christmas Poster contest open to all children ages 5-14. This is a wonderful opportunity for children to be creative, to be involved in their faith, and to have fun while experiencing the true meaning of Christmas. Posters must 11×17. If pastels, chalk, or charcoal are used, the poster must be laminated or covered in clear plastic. Posters must be submitted to the school office or parish office by December 19th.

Prizes will be awarded for winning entries. Winning entries will also be advanced to the district and then to the state and hopefully internationally again. St. Bridget of Sweden Parish has had 3 International winners in the past two years. This year could be your year to go all the way to the finals!

Entry forms and 11×17 paper are available at the doors of the Church or you can download an entry form here.

Sunday October 23rd at 12:00PM on St. Bridget Athletic Field

The first annual Cheshire K of C Soccer Challenge will be held Sunday, October 23rd, in the athletic field behind St. Bridget School at 12:00PM. Participants will demonstrate the most important skill in soccer – shooting accuracy on the penalty kick. Youth compete within their own age group to progress from the local level to district, regional and state competitions. International champions are announced by the Knights of Columbus international headquarters in New Haven, CT, based on scores from the jurisdiction-level competitions. All boys and girls, ages 9 to 14, are eligible to register, and contestants on the local level are recognized for their participation in the event. All budding young soccer superstars are encouraged to register and show their talent to the world!

Congratulations to our Keep Christ in Christmas Winners!!

After a grueling session judging outstanding works of poster art, which had normally complacent Knights at each other’s throats, our 2021 Poster Contest winners have shone forth with their remarkable creations.

First Place in our ages 5 to 7 category goes to Nina Pepe:

First place in our ages 8 to 10 category goes to Genevieve Cooney:

and lastly, First Place in our ages 11 to 14 category goes to Meredith Berkun:

If you know these budding young artists or their families, please stop them after Mass in the coming weeks and congratulate them on their remarkable achievement. From here, the winning posters go to the K of C state competition and, if successful, onto the international judging. We will be sure to keep you informed of the outcome.
