Pope trip: NY youths submit designs for "Papal Skateboard Contest"

A glance at the Archdiocese of New York Papal Visit page reveals the normal list of expected topics such as "Ticket Information," "Press Releases," etc.

But what about "Papal Skateboard Art Design Contest"?!

It's true!

My personal favorite so far is this submission by Larissa - Age 12.

I'm pretty sure the charism of papal infallibility doesn't extend to being able to plant a double 360 pressure flip foot plant, but hey, stranger things could happen. Pope Benedict already has the shades.

The rest of the designs are viewable by clicking below. There's still time to submit yours!

In a similar vein (but not nearly as hip), the Archdiocese of Washington held a youth video contest.
