Christian Service Hours Mid-Year Check
Campus Ministry will be checking in with each student to ensure that he/she is on track to complete the required Christian Service hours, which are due on April 14, 2023. To do this, we are seeing if students have completed half of their expected hours. This means:
- Freshmen should have 5 out of 10 hours with family
- Sophomores should have 7.5 out of 15 with their church
- Juniors should have 10 out of 20 Corporal Works of Mercy
- Seniors should have 12.5 out of 25 Catholic Social Teaching
Students: Be sure to update your service hours in your MobileServe account.
Parents/Guardians: Ask your student to show you their MobileServe account as a check on their status.
Not only is Christian service an essential component of being Christian and an integral part of your student's Bishop Chatard formation, students need to complete Christian Service in order to graduate per new Indiana Department of Education guidelines. Click here to learn more!
