“A Vision of Hope” Art Show The Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph Office of Child and Youth Protection in support of Child Abuse Awareness Month invites Catholic School students in our diocese to participate in the 1st annual Art Show! The theme for this year's show is “a Vision of Hope”. It is open for K-12 students in the Catholic Schools of the Diocese of Kansas City-St Joseph! The theme of HOPE should be the vision of the student artist! Schools can select one piece from each grade and those pieces may be brought or sent to the Chancery for an Art Show to showcase their piece at the “Vision of Hope Art Show” on April 27, 2022. Some select pieces may be chosen for various publications, websites, and projects such as cards the Office of Child and Youth Protection may send out to inspire Hope.
