Holy Cross Service Program

"Then the King will say, `Come, you who are blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. `For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in; naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me....Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.' " from Matthew 25

The Holy Cross Service Program is a graduation requirement that encourages the development of our student’s social conscience by placing them in direct contact with various populations of people in need. Empowering students to bring hope to others, they will work with people who are developmentally disabled, small children, elderly and economically poor. This broad exposure helps clarify our students’ unique gifts, talents and interests. All service must be completed away from the Saint Francis Campus.

While students are required to complete a minimum of 50 hours of service in our program, most exceed this requirement. Annually, our students contribute over 50,000 hours of community service.

"The end of all education should surely be service to others" Cesar Chavez
