    Scecina Service Program

    Guided by the teachings and inspiration of Jesus, Catholic Social Teaching, and Father Thomas Scecina, the Scecina Memorial High School Christian Service Program invites and expects students to support and strengthen their faith communities, wider communities, and Scecina throughout a student’s high school career. Every year, the focus of a student’s service can be one’s faith community, Scecina, and/or wider community through a project or projects that demonstrate one or more principles of Catholic Social Teaching. During the senior year, students will have the added component of a culminating capstone project called the Lifebook. The Lifebook project provides a framework for students to reflect upon and articulate important aspects of their lives to date, including the service that they have completed during their high school careers.

    Guiado por las enseñanzas y la inspiración de Jesús, la Enseñanza Social Católica y el Padre Thomas Scecina, el Programa de Servicio Cristiano de la Escuela Preparatoria Scecina Memorial invita y espera que los estudiantes apoyen y fortalezcan a sus comunidades de fe, comunidades más grandes y durante la carrera preparatoriana del estudiante de Scecina. Cada año, el enfoque del servicio de un estudiante puede ser la comunidad de fe, Scecina y/o la comunidad en general a través de un proyecto o proyectos que demuestran uno o más principios de la Doctrina Social Católica. Durante el último año (senior year), los estudiantes tendrán el componente adicional de un proyecto final culminante llamado Lifebook. El proyecto Lifebook proporciona un marco para que los estudiantes reflexionen y articulen
    aspectos importantes de sus vidas hasta la fecha, incluido el servicio que han completado durante sus carreras en la escuela preparatoria.

    A Prayer for Our Scecina Community

    Our Scecina Community is composed of people like me.
    I help make it what it is.
    It will be holy, if I am.
    It will be prayerful, if I am.
    It will be friendly, if I am
    It will do great work if I do great work.
    Its hallways and classrooms will be filled, if I help fill them.
    Its adults and young people will grow in charity, if I practice it.
    Its ministries will be active and engaged, if I am active and engaged.
    Ours will be a Scecina Community of loyalty and love,
    of fearlessness and faith,
    of compassion, charity, and mercy,
    if I, who help make it what it is,
    am filled with these same things.
    Therefore, with the help of God
    And the guidance of our Blessed Mother,
    I dedicate myself to the task of being all the things that
    our Scecina Community is called to be.

    Amen!
