Christian Service
Christian Service
Christian Service is more than just one of St. Francis Catholic High School’s Four Pillars— it is a cornerstone of school culture.
Service experiences provide students with opportunities to wrestle with complex social justice issues while learning the gifts of humility and poverty in spirit as they follow the example of our patron, St. Francis of Assisi. Required volunteer hours also build character, develop leadership and communication skills, and help Troubies gain insight as they walk with those in need.
Life-long Service and Social Justice
Christian Service programming forms students as people committed to life-long service and social justice.
In the 2023-24 academic year, St. Francis students completed 22,183 total service hours at 471 different organizations.
