The service projects are the organized charitable work of the students of St. Alphonsus Liguori Parish. The work is to give the students the opportunity to be in the wider community and is not meant to be individual works of mercy. The projects are operated under specific guidelines set up and monitored by the instructors of the Confirmation program. The service projects are unique because they require the student to use initiative in an area that the stereotypical teenager ignores. The students work with each other and with adults in their school and faith community as citizens working to build the Kingdom of God. The Confirmation program has set up the projects in such a way that the student personally experiences and has examples of Corporal Works of Mercy.
The regulations of an appropriate service project are:
a. The student chooses an activity that he/she enjoys.
b. The activity must be strictly volunteer; that is, no reward or compensation at all.
c. The student must work directly with an adult in the service work.
d. The student preparing for the Sacrament of Confirmation complete a minimum of 15 hours of service during his/her 9th grade year and 30 during his/her 10th grade year
e. 1/3 of the service hours are to be done for the family; 1/3 for the parish; 1/3
for a charitable institution or for an institution for which charitable work can be done.
f. The youth do not allow themselves to be taken for granted or treated without dignity.
