Students are encouraged to write a 500- to 750- word typed essay on the theme: “Discuss the meaning of virtue and how you live and embody the virtue of charity.” Essay submissions are due by October 4. The essays will be judged by Knights of Columbus Council 3440 during their October council meeting.
