List of 6 items.

• Can I volunteer at a service project other than those coordinated through Campus Ministry?

  It depends on the project. Please keep in mind that, in keeping with Catholic Social Teaching, our service should be focused on the poor and those neglected by society. To ensure that the service you have in mind fulfills your class requirements, please confirm with Mrs. Ujda before volunteering.

• Do I need to bring a Verification Form with me when I serve?

  It is best to bring a form with you. MobileServe has the capability to verify hours through e-mail, but not all agencies have that capability. To be safe, bring the form, get it signed, and upload a picture of it to MobileServe.

• What is the difference between Indirect and Direct Service?

  Indirect: Example: Make sandwiches for the people at the night shelter. (All thrift stores are indirect.)

  Direct: Example: Bring the sandwiches, give them to the people, talk with the people, and maybe eat a sandwich with them.

• What kind of service fulfills the Marist graduation requirement?

  Marist service is directed to help PEOPLE who are IN NEED, and they are the LEAST of these. Remember Matthew 25, the sheep, and the goats.  Other types of service are encouraged and should be entered in MobileServe, but they will not fulfill the school requirement.

• When can service hours be completed?

  You can complete service any time between the first day of school and May 15 (May 1 for seniors). (Rising seniors can serve during the summer, and mission trips count, too.)  You do not need to wait for your Theology class, and PLEASE do not wait until the end of the term. It places a heavy burden on the agencies we work with, and stresses you out in your serving. See how early in the term you can serve.

• Where can I find Service Opportunities?

  Students will receive a weekly Community Service email with various opportunities to serve.
  
  If you have a service opportunity that you would like to pursue, please contact Campus Ministry to let us know.
  
  Your team service project is for your team, not for your individual service.
