JUNIOR SERVICE (937)
All juniors will participate in Community service to the “marginalized”.

service coordinator. A list of previously approved service sites will be provided to the students.
• Students must complete all eight visits at two service sites at most.

agreement form.

and prior to the end of the 1st quarter.

• Students are encouraged to do the service with a partner.
SENIOR SERVICE
All seniors will fulfill the Christian Service requirement through working on a class advocacy project in the Living as Disciples of Jesus Christ in Society (Elective C) course.
• A major aspect of the Social Justice course is preparing students to speak in solidarity with those whose voice is marginalized or unable to be heard in society. Therefore, seniors will participate in an ADVOCACY PROJECT where they will:
1) research and study an injustice affecting people who are poor and vulnerable
2) learn and understand the Catholic Social Teaching, and
3) design and participate in a social action that gives a voice to those who are oppressed.
• Each class will choose issues to research in depth, and students will work together on the design and completion of
the act of advocacy.
• Individually, students will complete research assignments and a final reflection paper on their advocacy
experience.
• The research paper satisfies the service obligation and is worth 25% of each quarter grade.
