The St. Nicholas Partners Fund Drive is underway. The campaign allows supporters of Catholic Charities of Arkansas an opportunity to designate their gift for special programs in the organization. A Christmas greeting card and donation envelope were distributed to past donors and in this issue of Arkansas Catholic. The annual card design is chosen through an art contest conducted through Catholic schools in the state. Cash prizes are awarded for the three best designs and are given to the artist and to the school the young artist attends. This year’s winner is Jack Moore, a ninth-grade student at Catholic High School in Little Rock. He is the son of Casey and Pitt Moore. Ella McAfee, a seventh grader from St. Joseph School in Fayetteville, won second place, and Luke Schmiegelow, a 10th grader from Catholic High School in Little Rock, won third place. The artwork was judged by Catholic Charities staff. Last year’s St. Nicholas Partners raised more than $9,000 for Catholic Charities of Arkansas programs.
