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.
