It's time once again for the 15th annual Mother of God Photo Contest. This year's theme is "Treasures in Our Lives." Contest guidelines and entry forms are available after both Masses in back of church near the Pieta statue, or you can download them by clicking on the buttons below. The deadline to enter is Sunday, Aug. 9, after the 11:30 am Mass.

This year's prizes are better than ever—$1,800 and climbing! All skill levels are welcome, so don't be shy! Grab your phone or your camera and head to a park. Shoot some flowers and sunsets. Look through your vacation photos too. Heck, take photos of the kids and grandkids (those are always popular!). Then head to Walgreens and get your 11x14 photo entries printed up; mount them to a stiff piece of 11x14 board; fill out the entry form and you are good to go!
