Christian Service
In Les Misérables, Victor Hugo writes, "To love another person is to see the face of God." With this in mind, all Padres are required to perform 80 hours of service during their four years at Serra.
It is impossible to live the Christian life fully without serving those in need. While service must ultimately flow freely from a generous heart, it is a practice that, like others, is best formed when we make of it a habit. Youth is a time of great energy and formation of the patterns and attitudes that will shape one's adulthood. It is our hope that every Serra graduate will be a man who gives of himself to others, and experience is often the greatest teacher.
Jesus did not isolate Himself from His followers. His mission was one of teaching, serving and living among the people. Likewise, Jesus calls us to minister to our neighbors in the everyday passage of life. In this way, we carry out God's message and manifest His love here on earth. We are called not only to preach, but also to serve and minister.
