SERVICE REQUIREMENTS
Grade levels carry with them specific requirements for Christian Service. Christian Service is a requirement of Prep’s curriculum and takes precedence over all other co-curricular activities.
Freshmen must participate in an assigned Freshman Day of Service. The FDOS will be held on a Saturday with the participating Community Partners in Hudson County. These service days will be assigned by the Assistant Director of Campus Ministry in September. Students and families will receive their assigned date and logistics via email. Service will be completed with a group of your fellow classmates.
Those who cannot attend MUST email Mr. Cummings, ’10. Your options will be rescheduling or completing 5 hours of Christian Service on your own.
Sophomores must complete 15 hours of Christian Service through Prep-sponsored activities or at a non-profit agency approved by Mr. Keith Cummings ‘10, Assistant Director of Campus Ministry. More information about this requirement can be found here.
Juniors must complete 60 hours of direct service, which may be done as a participant on a summer immersion trip, at Prep-sponsored activities, or at a non-profit agency approved by Mr. Cummings. Students must log their hours. More information about this requirement can be found here.
Seniors do not have a Christian Service requirement. Seniors who have not completed their Freshman, Sophomore and/or Junior year Christian Service requirement are responsible for completing those hours in order to graduate.
A reminder that Christian Service is a graduation requirement during your time at Prep. The following will occur due to a failure to complete/ properly submit your Christian Service Hours:
- Saint Peter’s Prep reserves the right to hold onto your diploma
- Saint Peter’s Prep reserves the right to hold onto your transcript
Christian Service hours MUST be completed & submitted by March 20, 2026 for the 2025-26 school year. You can find our list of pre-approved service agencies HERE
