Giving Back, Together

Integral to the School’s mission, the Service Program integrates meaningful service opportunities into the student experience. 

By engaging directly with the people they serve, students understand the Gospel’s truth that to love God, one must love his neighbor, particularly neighbors most in need. Throughout the school year, students across all grades participate in a range of service activities, including tutoring youth, coordinating food and clothing drives, volunteering at pantries, supporting senior programs, and assisting individuals with physical and mental disabilities.

Senior Service Project

In their final five weeks at St. Sebastian’s, each senior commits significant time to serving the community through a placement that requires consistent one-on-one engagement.

Weekly discussion groups and a culminating oral presentation encourage students to reflect on the meaning of their experience. The program concludes with a morning of presentations in the Chapel, where seniors share their stories with classmates and faculty. Over the years, countless Arrows have called Senior Service a truly transformative chapter in their lives.

“It is a great blessing to witness the spiritual growth of our students as they engage in their service experiences. They come to understand that the Gospel value of loving our neighbor is a universal calling, the root of all of our humanity, and the summit of St. Sebastian's lofty mission.”
