CH RISTIAN SER VICE
FAITH IN At Padua Franciscan, students learn the importance of actions as a reflection of faith. Service projects
instill leadership, self-discipline, and social cooperation; furthermore, they encourage students to develop effective decision-making skills and personal accountability.
Padua students commit to 4 years of service:
• Freshmen volunteer 20 hours for school, parish, and family
• Sophomores make 4 visits to homeless shelters or soup kitchens
• Juniors make 8 visits to nursing homes or handicapped facilities
• Seniors engage in an advocacy project in order to live out the values of Catholic Social Teachings
As a long standing Padua tradition, Christmas For Others (CFO) is the largest student run fundraiser in northeast Ohio. Our students raise over $30,000 each year to help local and global charities. Yearly mission trip opportunities are available to students each summer to places such as El Salvador, Honduras, and the Dominican Republic.
