MISSION 4 SERVICE
Archbishop Curley High School’s requirement for service is based on the example of St. Francis of Assisi who understood the need to integrate religious belief with everyday living. For St. Francis, serving the poor was nothing less than honoring God in the presence of another person.
The MISSION 4 SERVICE program is an opportunity for our students to reach out to others who find themselves in need. While the learning that happens in the classroom is important, we strongly believe in extending that learning experience beyond our school’s walls. Their service to others puts them in touch with the suffering of the human community and enables them to see a world that exists beyond their normal boundaries. This enables students to appreciate some of the injustices that exist in our world and to work to correct them where possible. This is also a learning of a spiritual nature which opens the way to an encounter with Christ in those they serve and enables a living out of their Christian call to be disciples. To help deepen their understanding of the meaning of their service, every service experience has a reflection project requirement. The goal of this reflection is to enable them to relate what they have done to their faith and their relationship with Christ.
The completion of each year's service is a requirement for graduation.
