Serving Others

Developing a commitment to service is central to the Good Counsel experience. Engagement in Xaverian Service connects powerfully to our identity as a Catholic Xaverian Brothers Sponsored School and our core values of simplicity, humility, compassion, zeal, and trust.

Service looks different at Good Counsel: we believe service work should be rooted in both charity and justice. Our program emphasizes service to the poor, the vulnerable, and the marginalized in our communities. This commitment is anchored in the principles of Catholic Social Teaching and the mission of the Xaverian Brothers.

In addition to completing 20 hours of required Xaverian Service each year to graduate, students contribute zealously and compassionately to our school community, local communities, and world community through service activities sponsored by classes, clubs, teams, and the Campus Ministry Office.

General Service Guidelines for the 2025-2026 School Year

  • Every student must complete 20 hours of service each academic year. If more than 20 hours of service are completed it should be noted that the hours will NOT carry over to the following academic year. Service hours are entered via MobileServe, an application on each student's iPad. Paper service forms will NOT be accepted.
  • Service hours must be completed at a site that serves the poor and marginalized. Below students can find a yellow button that shares "Service Site Opportunities." Student service hours must be done at a site on that page or at a site similar to what is on that page. If a student does not do service to the poor and marginalized, their service hours may be denied. 
  • All summer service hours must be submitted via MobileServe by Friday, September 12, 2025 @ 3:30pm.
  • Senior hours are due Monday, March 30, 2026 at 3:30 pm to the MobileServe app. No late hours will be accepted.
