Christian Service

WELCOME CLASS OF 2029!!!

 

Mater Dei's Christian Service Program is an opportunity for our students to experience their faith in action and you can get started now!  Please see answers to the most common questions below:

 

How many Christian Service Hours are required to Graduate?

Students are required to complete 80 hours of Christian Service hours, 10 hours per semester, while attending Mater Dei High School, with at least 40 of these hours being Direct Service. 

All Christian Service hours must be performed through a charitable organization or agency.  Any service opportunity outside of a charitable organization or agency MUST be pre-approved by the Director of Christian Service in order to qualify for Mater Dei.  

 

When can I start completing my service hours and how do I submit them? Freshmen may begin earning hours the summer before entering Mater Dei, specifically June 1, 2025.  All Hours will be entered into a Mater Dei MobileServe account.

 

INCOMING FRESHMAN Students will be given a Mater Dei MobileServe account on the first days of school. (DO NOT create a personal MobileServe account to record Mater Dei Christian Service Hours.)

What does not count as Christian Service Hours?

 

Please note there are many needed, good, and selfless ways to help those around us that may not “qualify” as hours that count for the Mater Dei Christian Service Hour Graduation Requirement.

 

Some Examples:

• Baby-Sitting
• Being a Team Manager for a Mater Dei Program
• Campaigning
• Donating Items
• Fundraising 
• Helping your family
