Please
share with us how you are living out the
Gospel in your life – how you are “loving your neighbors” without
getting paid to do it.
All
9-10th graders are expected to do a total of 10
hours of service (both in the parish and community.
Confirmation students are asked to do 20 hours. (Note: Xavier
requires service hours of their students, as well as all other Religious
Education programs in the area.)
We
are not asking you to put in extra hours if you are already doing hours for
school, sports, scouts,…. You
can simply write down what you did through those organizations - that all
counts.
Notes:
-Service
is when you serve others without pay
-Service does not include chores at your house (shoveling or painting or…).
Those are family duties.
-Service does
not include your participation in any recreational/extracurricular
activities for yourself
(unless your organization is doing service for others
or you are assisting with the extracurricular activities of younger youth..).
-Remember
that at least 1 service activity is expected to be for your parish.
**Please
see the backside of this sheet for ideas of service. Deadline for service
hours is April 18.
