In 1954, the Sisters of St. Joseph founded Bishop Moore Catholic with the charism of “love for dear neighbor.” Our school seeks to continue this mission and form young men and women who leave BMC to “serve as the light of Christ” in the world. Our community service program is meant to inspire our students to make a gift of themselves to others. By fulfilling the community service requirements, our students are exposed to the needs of others and encouraged to find creative ways to share the light of Christ in a tangible way.
Community Service Information
All BMC students are required to complete community service hours as a part of their academic and faith formation. All students are required to complete 25 hours of Community Service for each year they are at Bishop Moore Catholic. Student Community Service must be completed at a non-profit organization. Students are advised to have no less than 50 hours by April 1st of their sophomore year and 75 hours by April 1st of their junior year. These requirements must be met in order to apply for a parking space in May before their junior year.
Submission Deadline
All community service hours performed during the school year must be submitted by April 30th. Following the 2026-27 school year, service hours from a previous school year cannot be submitted for credit. Students are expected to keep service hours up to date throughout the year.
Please note that the 2026–2027 school year will be the final year in which hours from previous school years may be accepted. All service hours must be submitted and up to date by April 30th.

Logging New Community Service Hours
- Students will fill out the Google Form. You must be signed with your Bishop Moore student email in order to access the form.
- In completing all of the required fields on the Google form, students will attach the required Community Service Verification Form.
- Once you submit the completed Google form into FACTS, a staff member will verify the submissions and approve them upon verification. Parents and students can then assess whether or not their hours have been approved by clicking "Family" then "Family Home" then selecting the student using the drop down on the middle of the page.
Service Saturdays
As we seek to “serve as the light of Christ in the world,” the second Saturday of each month is designated as a “Service Saturday.” Once a month, BMC partners with a local non-profit organization to provide a service opportunity for our students and faculty. If you are interested in joining one of our upcoming Service Saturdays, reach out to Mr. Michael Panico, Service Learning Coordinator.
