Living Our Faith Through Action
At Blessed Sacrament Huguenot, we believe service is more than a requirement — it’s a cornerstone of our mission and a reflection of our commitment to faith, compassion, and leadership. Through community service, our students grow into responsible, empathetic citizens who actively contribute to the world around them.
Why Community Service Matters
- Service encourages students to:
- Live out their faith in meaningful ways
- Build strong character and leadership skills
- Understand the value of empathy and giving back
- Connect with local organizations and causes
- Make a real difference in the lives of others
Student Requirements
All middle and high school students are required to complete community service hours annually as part of their graduation requirement. Specific grade-level expectations and deadlines are communicated at the start of each school year.
Students are encouraged to choose service opportunities that reflect their interests, passions, and values — whether that's volunteering at local shelters, supporting parish ministries, mentoring younger students, or helping at community events.
