Community Service

Service

The Service Leader helps organize service activities for the Catholic Campus Ministry, primarily by planning and running our Service Saturday events once a month.

For more information please contact our service leader Grace at gdelaney@mail.umw.edu

Service Saturdays

On one Saturday of each full month of a semester, our community comes together to serve others in our local area. The day starts with Mass or prayer beforehand and then we leave for the volunteer location (transportation provided). We serve for around two hours and we conclude with prayer either at the service site or back at the St. John Bosco Center. One of the service events each semester involves maintenance and cleaning around our own St. John Bosco Center/St. Dominic Savio House facilities and grounds. Other events can involve volunteering at local homeless shelters, crisis pregnancy centers or helping a local parish with outdoor yard work and landscaping. There is no cost to volunteer but registration beforehand is required.
