and parent.
Ministry contracts and evaluations are available on the Edline ministry page. If a
student works at more than one ministry site, a separate ministry contract and
evaluation form must be submitted for each site.
Seniors who are not enrolled in a religious studies class for a semester are still
required to complete the 20-hour ministry requirement for that semester. Those
students will coordinate their paperwork, consistent with the published semester
deadlines, with the Ministry Coordinator.
Students who complete 20 hours of service in the semester, follow the correct
procedures, and meet the deadlines will get a Pass (P) in Ministry for the semester.
Students who do not meet the requirement or do not follow the correct procedures
will be given an Fail (F). Students who receive an Fail must make up the
requirement during the summer following that school year or they cannot return to
Carmel Catholic. There is a fee for make-up ministry. The Ministry Coordinator
oversees make-up ministry.
2012 Summer Ministry Deadlines
Summer contract deadline – Friday, June 1
Summer evaluation deadline – Friday, August 24
Sophomores, juniors, and seniors have the option of performing all or some of their
service hours during the summer months. Summer ministry contracts must be
submitted with supervisor and parent approval by the published deadline at the end
of the school year. Summer ministry evaluations must be submitted with
supervisor and parent approval by the published deadline at the end of the
summer. Summer ministry contracts and evaluations are also available on the
Edline ministry page. The Ministry Coordinator oversees summer ministry.
Incoming freshmen may not begin ministry during the summer prior to entering
Carmel Catholic. In order to understand the purpose and call of ministry, it is
necessary for them to have the orientation program that is part of their freshman
religious studies class which includes faith formation on the Gospel values to
minister, help in identifying their God-given talents that can be utilized, and an
opportunity to reflect on the experience each student has chosen.
