Service & Leadership
At Holy Name, faith is meant to be lived. Through service and leadership opportunities, students are challenged to put their beliefs into action — caring for those in need, leading their peers, and building a community rooted in compassion and responsibility.
Service and leadership experiences help students grow in empathy, courage, and integrity while discovering the joy of making a difference in the lives of others.
Service Rooted in Faith
Service at Holy Name is not simply about fulfilling hours — it is about responding to Christ’s call to love our neighbor. Students are encouraged to recognize the dignity of every person and to serve with humility, generosity, and respect.
Through service projects, outreach initiatives, and partnerships with local organizations, students encounter real needs in our community and learn that even small acts of kindness can have lasting impact.
These experiences help students understand that leadership begins with a willingness to serve.
