We displayed the entries for both the Education Contest and scholarships at an Ice Cream Social held by the Court in June.
This allowed our winners, entrants, and families to participate and interact with our Catholic Daughters. Former winners were
also in attendance and one of our scholarship recipients has since become a Catholic Daughter to further her faith and service
to God and our Community.
Circle of Love * Education
Education is an important part of our climate. We continue to hold both the Education Contest as well as the State,
Court and scholarship in honor of one of our founding members.

THEMES: “We walk by faith, not by sight.”(2 Corinth 5:7) or
"When do I have to lean on my faith more than sight?"
Each local court should make a very special effort to sponsor the EDUCATION CONTEST. The themes selected for the contest encourage lively imagination and freedom of thought when student talent and application go hand in hand. The contest enables students of our communities, schools and CCD classes to compete and strive for awards while following certain fixed rules. The choice of the categories is:
ART ESSAY POETRY COMPUTER ART MUSIC PHOTOGRAPHY
The local court determines the amount for awards to be presented to the first three winning entries in each division, within each category.
