Every member of St. Vincent Pallotti High School is encouraged to participate in service opportunities that reach out to the poor and powerless. We encourage students to continue service to those individuals in need. Each student is required to complete 20 hours of service each year.

Only the following types of service fulfill the student requirement (unless permission has been obtained from the Christian Service Coordinator).  All service must be performed after normal school hours.
            1.  Nursing homes
            2.  Assisted living facilities
            3.  Rehabilitation centers
            4.  Hospitals
            5.  Soup kitchens
            6.  Food banks/pantries
            7.  Participation in fundraisers that raise awareness for life-threatening diseases and illnesses such as:
                        1.  Breast Caner
                        2.  Cystic Fibrosis
                        3.  American Diabetes Association
            8.  Mentoring/tutoring programs
            9.  St. Vincent Pallotti Campus Ministry-sponsored service events.
Service to SVPHS outside the above guidelines must be approved in advance by the Service Coordinator.  To receive recognition and credit for service hours, submit all hours on this website:
