Christian Service Hours

As a Catholic school, service is an essential part of who we are. Rooted in the Gospel, our service program invites students to live out their faith by serving others with compassion and purpose.

Service Requirements

Freshman - 20 Hours

Sophomore - 30 Hours

Junior - 35 Hours

Senior - 25 Hours

Types of Service

PASS

PASS means Prayer and Service at Seton. Each House takes one day to serve together in the community.

Unified Field Day

During Catholic Schools Week, we host a Field Day for students with special needs.

Personal Project

Service completed independently by the student. Students are encouraged to choose opportunities that create meaningful engagement with those they serve. Appropriate service includes that performed at non-profit organizations with 501(c)(3) status, a place of worship, schools, coaching youth, and other similar opportunities.

NOTE: You may serve a maximum of 5 hours during your Sunday Mass obligation (altar serving, lector, EM, etc).
