As a Catholic school community, we orient our students to living a life rooted in the Gospel message of Jesus Christ. In Matthew 25:40, Jesus reminds us that discipleship rests on serving others: “When you did this to the least of my brothers, you did it to me.”
Students at John Paul II Catholic High School are required as part of their participation grade in theology to complete eight hours of Corporal Works of Mercy (service to others).
All events/hours for the 2023-2024 school year are due by May 1, 2024. A student completing the required 8 hours receives a 100 for participation in the last quarter in their theology class. Participation is 20% of a student’s grade. A student who does not fulfill the 8-hour requirement earns a zero.
Below is a breakdown for Corporal Works of Mercy (CWM) requirements:
St. Mother Teresa once said that, “the fruit of love is service and the fruit of service is peace.” We pray that these opportunities to serve others will create hearts of love and peace for our JPII students.
