Apostolic Ministry
Service is a vital component of the Catholic identity of our school. By the time they graduate, every Holy Family student will have completed a minimum of 70 service hours, living out their faith through compassion and action.
The service hours completed by our students are inspired by the spiritual and corporal works of mercy. Through their dedication, our students truly become the hands and feet of Christ, answering His call in Matthew 25 to feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, welcome the stranger, clothe the naked, and care for the sick. This mission not only impacts those they serve but also transforms their own hearts, deepening their commitment to a life of compassion and discipleship.

The remaining hours can be completed at an approved charitable organization or your home parish or church.
