At St. John, we want all candidates to have participated in two (2) service events. These two service events can be done with our parish or another agency. We do not require a specific number of hours.
We encourage students to participate in the liturgy at St. John. These will count as an experience of service. You can assist with the mass in one of these ways:
If the candidate is already serving as an Altar Attendant, Eucharistic Minister, or in some other position frequently, they only need to do 1 other experience of service. After completing service events, candidates must fill out a questionnaire describing service performed as well as how the service impacted them. The form can be found at the top of this section.
Examples of Service:
Nursery Worker (at church); Soup Kitchen; Our Daily Bread; Share-A-Lunch; Reach Out Lakota; Project Restore; Scouting Service Projects; Catechist Aide (PSR, etc.); Helping Elderly Neighbors; Service / Volunteer opportunities at your school; Warm Welcomes
NOTE: Doing household chores or being paid to help a neighbor is not service! If you have any questions about service, please contact Joe Neidhard.
St. John Youth Ministry will provide many service opportunities (at least 1 per month) that you are invited to attend. You will receive alerts to upcoming service events you can participate in.
