SERVICE

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.

Junior High Service: 



​Students in the upper classes are Mass and/or reading buddies to younger students. Students help in the cafeteria. Junior high students are “office angels.” They staff the office so the secretary can take a lunch break. In December, junior high students and their parents serve a meal at Benedict House. Older students assist at the anointing Masses and sometimes cantor at funerals. Upper grade students periodically walk to the St. Vincent de Paul Store to assist in sorting or repairing items for sale. In these ways (and others!), we ensure that our students actively serve their school, parish, and local community.

The mission of Our Lady Star of the Sea School is to provide an academically excellent, Christ-centered education that reinforces Catholic values and traditions, fosters respect for self and others, and encourages the continual spiritual, intellectual, creative, physical, social, and emotional growth of all.
