There were 15 participants who competed in their respective age divisions. 9 winners will be moving on to the regional competition on February 24, 2019 in Garrettsville. The State Championship is March 17 in Columbus.
Our Lady Help of Persecuted Christians
Knights worldwide are using the hashtag #FollowingMary to spread devotion to the Blessed Mother while raising awareness for persecuted Christians in the Middle East.
During the Supreme Convention last August in Baltimore, the Knights of Columbus launched its 18th Marian Prayer Program—this year featuring an icon of “Our Lady Help of Persecuted Christians,” created by Italian artist Fabrizio Diomedi. The icon was recently blessed by Pope Francis himself.
Each state deputy will host an icon and share it with local councils throughout their jurisdictions. The icon will serve as the centerpiece for prayer services intended to raise awareness of the plight of Christians persecuted for their faith and to stand in prayerful solidarity with them.
