You all made the Detroit Catholic story! Congratulations again for the outstanding competition in this year's Oratory contest.
Press release for your parish bulletin:
(Please use the appropriate attached student picture for your bulletin story.) Perhaps your student can deliver his or her 5-7 minute speech to an upcoming parish event.
Four students from Gabriel Richard High School were among the five contestants in the High School Pro-Life Oratory Contest sponsored by Downriver affiliates of Right to Life of Michigan. Each student spoke from a pro-life perspective on either euthansia or abortion from moral, scientific and sociological perspectives. All contestants received T-shirts and a precious feet pin the size of a baby's feet 10 weeks after conception. The first place winner received a prize of $150 and will advance to the state competition.
