Keep Christ in Christmas

This Year’s Winning Entries:

Thank you to everyone who entered the Knights of Columbus Council #6138 Keep Christ in Christmas Poster Contest! On behalf of our council, I congratulate our winners on their excellent work and wish them luck as their entries advance to the state level.

May your family always remember to keep Christ in Christmas!

Msgr. Bernard P. Sheridan Knights of Columbus Council #6138 is inviting boys and girls in Greenwood ages 5 through 14 to participate in the organization’s international Keep Christ in Christmas poster contest. “By engaging the creativity and imaginations of our youth, we hope they will come to a deeper understanding of the true, spiritual meaning of Christmas,” said Council 6138 Grand Knight Steve Pappas.

The contest will be conducted locally with winning entries advancing to the district/region and then to state, national and international levels. The winning entries may serve as the basis for a series of new Christmas posters that encourage a deeper understanding of the holiday. “The posters will be distributed in the countries where the Knights are active as part of our Keep Christ in Christmas campaign,” said Grand Knight Pappas. “Creative credit will also be given to the winning artists.”
