Dear readers, Catholic Online was de-platformed by Shopify for our pro-life beliefs. They shut down our Catholic Online, Catholic Online School, Prayer Candles, and Catholic Online Learning Resources essential faith tools serving over 1.4 million students and millions of families worldwide. Our founders, now in their 70's, just gave their entire life savings to protect this mission. But fewer than 2% of readers donate. If everyone gave just $5, the cost of a coffee, we could rebuild stronger and keep Catholic education free for all. Stand with us in faith. Thank you.Help Now >

The Baptized And Sent Song Contest is open to youth in grades 1-12. The goal is to write an original song that focuses on the theme Baptized and Sent: Sharing the Good News and Caring for God's Creation. It is suggested to use Pope Francis' encyclical Laudato Si for inspiration.

One grand prize winning song will be chosen based on originality, youthfulness, and contemporary nature. Winning entries should be catchy, easy-to-sing, and communicate their message through both the words and the melody. Final evaluations will be based on the quality of the lyrics and melody; not the vocal or instrumental performance.
The winning song will then be submitted to the International Secretariat of the Missionary Childhood Association at the Vatican. It may be used to promote Extraordinary Missionary Month in October as part of materials from MISSIO and the Missionary Childhood Association.
There will be six additional winners chosen in grade categories as follows: Grades 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8, 9-10, 11-12.
