Carmel students are required to perform Christian service during their high school years. In doing so, they will make an impact on every level of society, near and far. Members of our founders, the Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Order of Carmelites, have given centuries of service to those in need through the imitation of Christ and his Blessed Mother, Mary. Our students continue this tradition with acts of service in a wide variety of settings so that the love and compassion of Christ may transform our world today

Goal of the Christian Service Program
Goal of the Christian Service Program
Carmel Catholic High School’s mission statement calls our students to be servant leaders centered in Jesus Christ. Therefore, the goal of the Chrisitan Service program is to enable our students to become an incarnation of Christ in the world today, to be Christ’s hands and feet, bringing their individual experiences and God-given gifts to those they serve in order to impact our world for the greater good.
The Christian Service program, by creating opportunities where students can encounter and identify with people unlike themselves through service activities and meaningful reflection, helps students deepen their own religious and moral identity, develop a habit of mind committed to the common good, and identify with the solidarity of Christ, who was one with others.
“Christ has no body now but yours. No hands, no feet on earth but yours. Yours are the eyes through which he looks compassion on this world. Yours are the feet with which he walks to do good. Yours are the hands through which he blesses all the world. Yours are the hands, yours are the feet, yours are the eyes, you are his body. Christ has no body now on earth but yours.”
