Christian Service Program

PURPOSE: The purpose of fulfilling Christian service hours while attending CCHS is to practice the teachings of Jesus Christ and to actively live out our CCHS Mission “To witness to the Gospel”. Service has always been a hallmark of Christianity and an outreach to the community at large. Our service hours are modeled after the Gospel of Matthew 25 where Jesus says ....“Truly, I tell you, whatever you did for the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.”- Matthew 25:40


REQUIREMENTS: Every student is required to complete a minimum of 25 service hours per year of which 5 hours should be Theology Grade level service project by the deadline listed below. A CCHS graduate student would have completed a minimum of 100 hours during their 4 years of High School.

• 1st semester: 10+ Christian service hours due by the end of Quarter 2 on Helper Helper App.
• 2nd semester: 15+ Christian Service hours due by the end of Quarter 4 on Helper Helper App.
• Graduation Requirement: Seniors are required to complete 100 recorded service hours by the end of Quarter 3. Failure to complete hours will result in loss of privileges (including graduation).

EXPECTATIONS: Students are expected to fulfill the precepts of the Church, Corporal and/or Spiritual works of Mercy and support Catholic Educational events for their service hours. Students are called to freely share their time, treasure and talent without receiving any payment, reward or monetary donation for their service hours. Students may not serve their immediate family or family business for service credit, but rather are expected to serve their school, parish, local and global communities and non-profit organizations.
