Celebrating Student Success in the Serra Vocations Essay Contest

We are thrilled to share that two students from Holy Cross Catholic School, Amos and Sophia, were recognized for their exceptional work in the Dr. Jim Falk Serra Vocations Essay Writing Contest! 🎉✍️

Each year, this special contest encourages students to reflect deeply on their faith and explore how they can inspire others to consider a vocation to the priesthood or religious life. It’s a meaningful opportunity for young people to connect their personal experiences with the broader call to serve God and the Church.

Amos and Sophia’s essays stood out for their heartfelt insight and powerful messages. Through their words, they demonstrated not only an understanding of what it means to live out one’s faith but also how to support and uplift others on their spiritual journeys.

We are incredibly proud of all our students who participated in the contest. Their thoughtful reflections are a testament to the strong faith foundation and values we strive to nurture here at Holy Cross.

Congratulations, Amos and Sophia, on this well-deserved recognition! Keep sharing your light and leading by example.
