SERVICE AT PROVIDENCE CRISTO REY
As a Catholic school rooted in the core values of Love, Mercy, and Justice, it is our duty to form students to become servant leaders and disciples of Christ Jesus to the world. This means forming students who will interact with the world around them through a lens of love, mercy, and justice.
The ultimate purpose of service as understood by the example set by Jesus Christ himself is to build relationships with those around us. The goal, then, is for students to understand that when we talk about “service” we are talking about forming/deepening relationships with people: family, friends, classmates, but also strangers, those in need, and even those whom we do not like.
We expect all our students to participate in community service activities such as:
-
Service Club
-
BLAST Service Trip during Spring Break
-
Service activities organized by the Student Council
-
Volunteering at Church
-
Day of Service
-
Helping around the school when needed
-
Supporting classmates and younger students
Furthermore, students will participate in a service-learning experience as part of their Theology class during their junior and senior year, focusing on living out our school’s commitment to service and social justice.
