The Catholic Courier is holding a coloring contest for children ages 3 to 6. There will be two age categories, 3 & 4 year olds and 5 & 6 year olds. We are asking children to do their best coloring of the image provided. They can use crayons, colored pencils and markers to color the image. Then with their parents’ or teachers’ help, they need to take a photo of their finished picture and email it to us.

All submissions will be shown in our Advent Calendar in December.
