服务和拓展

“爱是什么样子的??  它有帮助别人的手.  它有脚去催促穷人和需要的人.  它有眼睛看到痛苦和匮乏.  它有耳朵来倾听人们的叹息和悲伤.  这就是爱的样子.”  (St. 河马的奥古斯汀)

慈悲作品是书院形成的重要组成部分.  Students accompany classmates on at least one service trip per year to satisfy graduation requirements.

每节课集中在不同的领域和工作上的慈悲:

  • 新生在圣. 约瑟夫上幼儿园,在天主教教区外展为饥民提供食物;
  • Sophomores feed the hungry at Raleigh Rescue Mission and Catholic Parish Outreach;
  • 青少年在罗利传统老年人生活中心照顾老人;
  • Seniors shelter the homeless by working at Habitat for Humanity construction sites.

礼拜日以弥撒或晨祷开始.  As St. Peter Julian Eymard说, “In one day the Eucharist will make you produce more for the glory of God than a whole lifetime without it.”

每个服务日通常还包括早餐或午餐.  This provide important social sharing time outside the academic environment.  这一天以一个反思的时间结束.

This opportunity to serve our community provides students with an invaluable life lesson in the joy of self-giving.  This experience inspires young men and woman to want to do even more for their neighbors and deepens awareness of one’s own blessings.  服事和外展使人一生都渴望在别人身上看见基督.
