Christian Service

All Bishop Manogue students are required to complete 100 hours of Christian Service in order to graduate. This is an important part of the education and spiritual growth at Bishop Manogue Catholic High School. Although it may seem daunting, garnering Christian Service hours can be among the most rewarding experiences of a student's time here.  The Campus Ministry team is always availabe to help students find service opportunites and facilitate the process of completing their requirements. A list of organizations and events requiring volunteers will be posted here soon. 

There are also certain all-school service opportunities, such as Cardboard Box City, in which students are encouraged to participate throughout the year.  ANY student may participate and receive hours toward their year’s completion. Information on these will be distributed as it becomes available.

All Christian Service hours must be performed for an established, non-profit organization and recorded on Bishop Manogue's Christian Service Form. This form must be signed by a supervisor from the non-profit organization.  Christian service requirements vary by grade level as follows:

Freshman

• 20 hours of service to the homeless and neglected

  (Qualifiying organzations include Casa de Vida, Special Olympics, St. Vincent’s Food Pantry, Mary’s Embrace, and Family Promise)

Sophomores

• 25 hours of service to the ill, disabled, and forgotten

  (Qualifiying organzations include Ronald McDonald House, at-risk schools such as Sierra Vista or Echo Loder, nursing or retirement homes, area hospitals, and Family Promise)

Juniors

• 25 hours of service in the field of education, literacy, and extra curriculars

  (Qualifiying organzations and activities include CYO, tutoring, and after-school programs.)

Seniors

• 30 hours of service to the hungry, homeless, and neglected

  (Qualifying organization include Casa de Vida, Special Olympics, St. Vincent’s Food Pantry, Mary’s Embrace, and Family Promise).

Students should also turn in any additional hours earned in a year, and/or hours that are not in their field.  These will be recorded toward the 200 hours required for a Service Award at graduation, but will not be counted toward the standard 100 required hours.

Christian Service Forms must be turned in to the student's theology teacher no later than May 4, 2012, along with a reflection paper. (Reflection papers will be discussed with students in their theology classes.)
