Service Hours
Blessed Pope John XXIII Roman Catholic School Community is dedicated to creating a spirit of service in the student’s family, school, church, and community. All Blessed Pope John XXIII Roman Catholic School Community students participate in Christian service projects through Faith in Action (FIA) and Ways of Worship (WoW). Voluntary school-wide activities involve food, clothing, and school supply drives.
Mandatory participation in service projects is required for 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students.
As part of their religion requirement, 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students are required to commit themselves to individual Christian community service. As partners with parents in their child’s education, we seek to teach students about the importance of service in one’s faith life. Service project opportunities that are directed to the poor and needy are highly encouraged. Students may begin their service hours in the summer months prior to the school year.
The service hour requirements for religion are as follows:
6th grade – 10 hours
7th grade – 15 hours
8th grade – 20 hours
