Each year, the Missionary Childhood Association (MCA) holds a National Christmas Artwork Contest to design the official National Christmas card of the Pontifical Mission Societies.

Twenty-two winners plus two grand prize winners are selected from this national competition, and one of the winners for 2022-23 is from Trinity Catholic School in Massena.

We congratulate our student (who has chosen to remain anonymous) for being selected from the countless entries sent in from all the diocese and archdiocese around the country. This artwork was submitted by Miss McKenna O’Neill, 2022-2023 TCS art teacher.

All winners received a commemorative plaque. Their designs are also on display at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, DC, where a Mass was celebrated for them on December 1st, 2023.
