Performing service to others is an important part of being a follower of Christ. As part of the Southeast Catholic program for grades 9-12, students are required to perform service throughout the year. Students complete activities within the areas of family, school, and parish community.  After doing so, they write a reflection on one of their service activities and submit their service record sheet to the Religious Formation Office before the end of the program year.

​

What do the service events look like? 

​

• Service for Family- Should be something that the child is not normally expected to do as their regular household chores. For example: assisting in painting a room, cleaning out a basement area, assisting an elderly relative in shopping and so much more. Be creative. 

• Service for School or Local Community- Should be something outside of what is expected of them for a grade. For example: helping a teacher clean the classroom, mentoring another student, participating in a service club, coaching/assisting a sports team for younger students, park cleanup day, participate in a charity fun run. Remember it cannot be part of a graded requirement. 

• Service for Parish Community- Can be for the parish itself or an organization connected with the parish. For example: a food pantry, trivia night, fish fry or a meal, parish picnic, parish grounds clean up, Children's Liturgy of the Word. Remember parish service events must each last a minimum of two hours.
