This course provides an experientially based approach to service leadership and social justice. Students focus on what it means to be a leader in light of Catholic social teaching and apply their learning directly back into the life of the school community and beyond.

Special attention is given to the interaction between Church and culture. Students will question their experiences, values and attitudes and then reflect on how their own Christian worldview can shape how they will choose to act. This faith in action model will assist them in making life-giving, Christ-centered decisions in their ongoing faith life. As such, a significant part of the course will be a commitment to service work and volunteer hours. This course is intended to prepare students for the livelong task of assisting those in need.
