Springbank Catholic Family of Parishes Day of Service is an opportunity for young people in grades 7 - 12 to explore the church’s social teaching and to gain hands-on experience with some of our outreach ministries that strive to put Catholic social teaching into practice. High school students can also receive volunteer hours required for graduation through this experience.
Participants
Young people in grades 7-12 will have the opportunity to meet other youth, learn Catholic teachings about social justice and service, and gain hands-on experience with outreach groups at Springbank Catholic! High school students can gain volunteer hours to apply toward graduation requirements.
