Each Confirmation candidate is expected to complete at least 1 service activity this year. The service activity should be an ongoing ministry of St. Francis of Assisi or should benefit the church. Some examples include: Hospitality for Gathering Sunday, Teacher’s Aid for Faith Formation, cleaning the church grounds, Channel One, Resource Room, etc. Refer to the time and talent books for more service ideas. Students are encouraged to try a service activity that is new to them. After the service is completed, each student is expected to write a Service Summary Report. If you have questions about a particular service project or need other ideas, contact the Youth Ministry Coordinator.
