Service is an important part of the annual calendar at Our Lady Star of the Sea School. We are committed to making the Catholic Social Teachings as much a part of our students’ lives as possible.

Some projects that take place each year are:  

• Thanksgiving baskets for clients of the St. Vincent de Paul Society
• Student Council sponsored fundraisers for victims of natural disasters
• Food Drive to benefit St. Vincent de Paul during Catholic Schools Week
• Operation Rice Bowl during Lent
• Pen Pal program with our sister parish in Uganda

Other projects vary according to year. For instance, we have collected DVDs and CDs for Navy personnel aboard the USS John C. Stennis and Army personnel in Iraq and Afghanistan. We have donated new socks to the Downtown Emergency Center in Seattle and Benedict House in Bremerton. We have collected baby shoes and baby food. One year, we decorated a Christmas tree with children’s socks, mittens, hats, and gloves and later donated the items to the Hispanic Ministry.
