Service 2023-2024

Shepherd of the Hills and St. Matthew require 30 hours of high school service for Confirmation.
  • These hours should be service within the parish and within the community. 
  • Reach out to your school guidance office for service opportunities in your community
  • Watch the parish bulletin for service opportunities within your parish
  • Hours are recommended to be spread out throughout Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior Year (approx. 10 hours/year)
  • The Confirmation Class of 2023 will have 30 hours of service as a requirement. (many service opportunities are offered within our parish events this fall alone just look at icons and click above for what's available!)
  • We are no longer requiring a signed sheet of paper for service- the Service Hour E-Form at the button then google form down a bit farther on this webpage is sufficient 

Examples of Service

Helping others comes in many forms. A standard rule of thumb is that service is helping others without compensation (being paid) for an action that you are not otherwise expected to do. 
Common Examples of Service:
  • Serving, greeting, or lectoring for Mass
  • Helping an elderly neighbor
  • Assisting in a parish brunch or dinner
  • Serving on a Mission trip (note: only 5 hours per mission trip will count towards Confirmation)
  • Yardwork for someone outside your immediate family
  • Babysitting for a friend unpaid (not your immediate family)
  • Coaching
  • SOTH Coffee House help
