Service Program

Rummel’s service program flows from the Lasallian charisms of faith, community, and service. Service flows from our faith in the Living God as our response to Christ’s answer to the question of the greatest commandment, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” This we accomplish in imitation of Archbishop Joseph Francis Rummel who’s episcopal motto was animam pro ovibus ponere, “to give one’s life for the sheep”.
Students will develop an orientation towards Christian service by gradually increasing commitments to various service options culminating in their senior year with a final opportunity to reflect on the success and impact of their service projects. The hope is that students incorporate service as a core value in their lives and see it at the heart of what it means to be a leader in society.
Service at Archbishop Rummel High School must be aimed at one of the corporal or spiritual works of mercy:
Corporal Works of Mercy     
-To feed the hungry           
-To give drink to the thirsty      
-To clothe the naked               
-To shelter the homeless      
-To visit the sick          
-To visit the imprisoned     
-To bury the dead      
Spiritual Works of Mercy
-To instruct the ignorant

-To counsel the doubtful

-To admonish sinners

-To bear wrongs patiently

-To forgive offences willingly    

-To comfort the afflicted
-To pray for the living and the dead
Students must be able to explain how his hours are tied to one or more of the works of mercy through composing essays related to his service hours assigned in his Theology class.
