Service Hours

As a Catholic School in the Holy Cross Tradition, Cathedral High School requires all students to participate in our Community Service Program. Rooted in the Gospel call to "love your neighbor”, and our Holy Cross mission to "hope for a world where justice and love prevail,” our Community Service Program requires our students to go beyond the bounds of family and friendship and embrace the Corporal Works of Mercy and our Holy Cross Core Values to:

Give each student the opportunity to reflect on the message of Jesus Christ in regard to serving others.
Provide the opportunity for each student to experience in different types of service with a variety of disadvantaged individuals in order to assist in clarifying each student’s particular gifts and talents
Emphasize to parents and students the importance Holy Cross Schools places on service to God’s disadvantaged and marginalized by requiring a specific number of hours of service.
Provide an opportunity for students to develop skills in working with people—skills that are important for life, not just for school.
