  • st. augustine cathedral school
    service formation projects

    • Part of our mission at St. Augustine Cathedral School is to foster stewardship in our students. Service to others addresses the seven principles of Catholic Social Teaching. Each grade has a specific class project, as well as several   school-wide  projects, along with responses to local, national and global crises. Through service, our students learn to be good stewards of their God given gifts.
       

      Life and Dignity of the Human Person  The Catholic Church proclaims  that human life is sacred and that the dignity of the human person is the foundation of a moral vision for society.
       
      5 th  Grade students partner with Caring Network. Their relationship with this Catholic organization has expanded to include monthly visits to Caring Network to help with chores at the facility.

      Call to Family, Community, and Participation  The person is not only sacred but also social.

      Angel Tree: Gifts from the tree are given to our own school families in need at Christmas time.
       
      Kindergarten students are serving their own families, preparing for and sharing our beautiful Catholic traditions, such as the rosary and the Jesse Tree.

      1 st  Grade students focus on building relationships with our local parishes. Students visit one of our eight supporting parishes to offer a helping hand. Students also enjoy time with the local pastor learning more about religious vocations.
       
      8 th  grade serves the school through a variety of leadership activities. These students take on responsibility for leading School Families, for publishing the yearbook, for mentoring younger students, for hosting luncheons in honor of parishioners and volunteers and much more.

      Rights and Responsibilities  The Catholic tradition teaches that human dignity can be protected and a healthy community can be achieved only if human rights are protected and responsibilities are met. 

      Option for the Poor and Vulnerable  A basic moral test is how our most vulnerable members are faring.
       
      On our monthly uniform holiday, the students bring in nonperishable food items to donate to our local  Loaves and Fishes  food pantry.
       
      2 nd  Grade students coordinate the school-wide coat drive. The past several years the children have donated the coats to the  Salvation Army. The coats are delivered just before Christmas.
       
      3 rd  Grade student: A basket is kept in the cafeteria during lunchtime to collect any extra wrapped food, fruit, or treats. These items are walked over to the  St. Vincent de Paul Store behind St. Augustine by two of the children and a playground supervisor. Once a month a small group of students heads to the St. Vincent de Paul Store for a tour and to sort donations.
       
      4th Grade students have developed a very special relationship with the residents of our local Catholic nursing home. Students visit Borgess Gardens each month, bringing songs and games, crafts and good cheer.

      6th Grade students partner with D.C. Strong and lfit spritis of children struggling with cancer.

      The Dignity of Work and the Rights of Workers   Work is more than a way to make a living; it is a form of continuing participation in God’s creation.

      7th Grade students cared for frontline workers during the pandemic.

      Solidarity   We are one human family whatever our national, racial, ethnic, economic, and ideological differences.
       
      The school family responds to disasters and tragedies around the globe. Students, led by the Student Leadership Council, organize Dollar for Denim Days , collections of necessary items, cards, letters and prayers for organizations, including Holy Childhood Association, Catholic Charities the Red Cross and others.

      Care for God’s Creation  We show respect for the Creator by our stewardship of creation.

      The Church’s social teaching is a rich treasure of wisdom about building a just society and living lives of holiness amidst the challenges of modern society.”
