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 with house work or yard work
  • 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

Service Reflection Papers

In addition to the 30 hours of service, teens are required to write a reflection paper each year about their service experiences. 

Service Reflection papers will be due the last Sunday of December HS classes: December 20th, 2026
