<strong>Community</strong> <strong>Service</strong> <strong>requirements</strong><br />
The importance of <strong>Community</strong> <strong>Service</strong> Learning Within a Marianist Education<br />
Our faith calls us to live out the gospel message, which means being present to others and<br />
helping those less fortunate than ourselves. In a Marianist Catholic school, the curriculum and<br />
service opportunities help students understand the roots of injustice, which enables students to<br />
undertake thoughtful forms of action that truly respond to current social and moral concerns.<br />
Program activities reinforce the characteristics of a Marianist education, active citizenship,<br />
and a dedication to gospel values.<br />
