All students are required to participate in the school’s Faith in Action Program.
Putting faith into action facilitates student learning & development through meaningful service service experiences, while allowing the school to positively impact our community.
Faith In Action Expectations Include:
⅓ of a student’s hours should be School hours. This is a student’s best way to support the school and could include volunteering to give tours during Open Houses, selling concessions, helping at sporting events, working at the Gala, assisting with campus ministry activities, etc.
⅓ of a student’s hours should be Church/Parish hours. This is how students support their faith community and could include being a lector, extraordinary minister, altar server, singing in the choir, helping out at a parish clean up, volunteering at the Archangel Attic, participating in a parish service project, etc. Students who are not a member of a parish or congregation are still required to complete this portion of their requirement but may do so by volunteering at our parish church St. Benedict’s Parish.
⅓ of a student’s hours should be community based, primarily with non-profit organizations. This is how students better our community, by providing support to Archdiocese and other community agencies working with vulnerable or special needs populations. Organization examples include Clare House, Bean’s Cafe, Hickel House, American Red Cross, Arthritis Foundation, Special Olympics, etc.
