Hello Seraph Families!

As a Catholic Christian school we work to share Christ with the world around us and bring His love to those we encounter. An important part of that is organized Christian Service. Christian Service is "a work of justice pleasing to God." (Catechism of the Catholic Church, no. 2462). The information below pertains to the 2021-2022 school year. 

Program Guidelines:

• Students are required to complete at least 15 hours of service each school year.
• Summer hours (completed between July 1, 2021 - August 12, 2021) are due by September 17, 2021.
• All remaining service hours must be submitted by Friday, May 6, 2022.
• Click HERE to submit your Post-Service Reflection Form.

If you have any questions if a project will count towards your Christian Service hours, please reach out to Ms. Zabaglo or Mr. Palomares.
