Service Hours/Reflection
As a reminder, to graduate from Mater Dei students must complete 10 hours of volunteer service per semester, and at least half of all hours must be "direct service." For seniors who have been at MD all four years of high school, your requirement is at least 80 total hours of service, 40 hours or more of these must be direct service hours. The deadline in spring for service hours was March 18, 2019. If you missed this deadline, please make sure to turn in your volunteering hours as soon as you can.
Visit the Christian Service Program web page for more information. Be sure you have submitted your hours through our new app, MobileServe. Please check that they have been verified.
If you have any questions, talk to Mrs. Hopkins, our Director of Christian Service, in Campus Ministry.
