Christian Service

The Christian Service Program is designed to help the students of Central Catholic become a people of compassion and knowledge, a people committed to justice, a people for others. During their years at Central Catholic, students will complete a minimum of eighty hours of service to the greater community of Portland, and the world.

The hope is that through service the students will become aware of their Christian responsibility to respond to those in need around them in the world. The development of community, both within the walls of Central Catholic, and outside the walls, is a vital goal of Central Catholic's Christian Service Program.

Service opportunities for incoming freshmen begin in September.

Since the Christian Service Program was implemented in 1994, the class of 1998 was the first
group of students to participate in the four year model of Christian Service. The graduating
class of 2009 contributed an average of 126 hours of service per student to the Portland community
and beyond.
