Vocations essay contest submissions sought from students in grades 7-12
The Serra Club of Indianapolis’ annual John D. Kelley Vocations Essay Contest is seeking submissions from Catholic students in grades 7-12 in parochial, public or home school systems in the Archdiocese of Indianapolis.
The theme for this year’s contest focuses on the 2025 Jubilee Year theme, “Pilgrims of Hope.” Essay contest participants are asked to address: How a priest or consecrated person encouraged you to seek God? How does pursuing a vocation bring hope into your life? And how are you preparing to know where God is calling you to build up his kingdom with your God-given talents?
For more details and an essay submission form, contact your school religion teacher, religious education program instructor or parish catechist/youth minister. Information is also available from the Office of Vocations at vocations@archindy.org.
