Christian service hours are to be completed by the dates listed on the school calendar.  A student will not receive his August mailing, report card/transcript or be allowed to return in the Fall if his hours are not completed.

(In addition to the academic requirements for graduation, each student is required to complete a designated number of community service hours during each of his four years at St. Francis.)  These are as follows:

The number of Christian service hours required of each student is considered only a minimum.  St. Francis wholeheartedly encourages each student to respond to the gospel message of service by participating in an even greater measure than is asked.

All community service hours must be fulfilled in the public sector.  (For example, through some public agency such as the YMCA, the Red Cross, public youth programs, senior citizen homes, community soup kitchens, parish organizations, etc.)  So as to help with placement, a list of referral agencies will be provided.  All hours must be verified by means of a form provided by the Campus Ministry office.  In addition, St. Francis will provide in the Assisi Assist, a  number of school-sponsored events, both on and off campus.  These will be announced throughout the course of the school year.
