Bishop Chatard students complete over 20,000 service hours per year. This is made possible through a robust Christian Service Program that provides a list of service agencies and occasional service excursions that allow students to participate in service that fit their unique interests. Due to COVID-19 and current safety precautions, Christian Service commitments will look different for the 2020-2021 school year. Our hope is that the Christian Service Program can continue in its prior format for the 2021-2022 school year. Use the button below for more information or email service@bishopchatard.org with any questions.
