Service Opportunities
"For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me. Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me." -Matthew 25: 35-40
Bishop Montgomery seeks to be in union with the mission of Jesus Christ making known the Kingdom of God in our midst and doing our part for the least of our brothers and sisters. All of us, with the gifts and talents we possess, are called to make a contribution to the world. Service is an integral part of BMHS. We see service as applying the education we receive. There are many ways to make use of the talents and education we possess. Therefore, each student is encouraged and supported to participate in various service projects. Every student at Bishop Montgomery participates in a class service project every semester. We provide numerous opportunities to put our “love into action” by following the example of Jesus. Each grade level has a specific theme
Serving at Risk Youth (Freshmen)- Students work to serve youth living in foster care or orphanages, youth who are displaced, and youth with serious medical conditions.
Serving the Vulnerable (Sophomores)- Some examples of projects sophomores work on are those that serve the elderly, those who have suffered from domestic abuse, or those who live with a disability.
Serving the Hidden in Plain Sight (Juniors)- Students work on service projects that help Veterans, migrant workers, ethnic minorities, or Indigenous peoples.
Serving the Dignity of All (Seniors)- Some examples of projects that seniors work on are those that help the unhoused, incarcerated, or deal with environmental issues or justice issues.
Campus Ministry regularly publishes service opportunities. We encourage Denim Days to collect money for various charities and needs. For $2 (or more) students are able to wear denim
Our Concordia Club, Habitat Club, and Key Club also are vehicles and expressions of Bishop’s commitment to service. In all, we seek to support and encourage Christian service and the mission of our school.
