HOLY CROSS PARISH ORATORICAL FESTIVAL - Sunday, March 30

The Saint John Chrysostom Oratorical Festival will be held on Sunday, March 30. This Archdiocese-wide, faith-based speech festival provides our young people with an opportunity to write and deliver an oral presentation about a topic in Orthodoxy. The Festival is open to grades 3-12. Children in grades 3-6 can write a speech on the topic of their choice and those in grades 7-12 must write on a topic in their age category. Public speaking is important throughout life and this festival offers a way for our youth to learn these important skills while exploring their faith. Please encourage the young people in your life to participate. Contact Allison Virsik (ali_virsik@yahoo.com) with questions and to register. Topics can be found at: www.goarch.org/oratorical

If you are willing to serve in this capacity, please contact Allison Virsik (ali_virsik@yahoo.com).
