MobileServe

Greetings Marquette Students,

In your Marquette e-mail account, you will soon be receiving a link to claim your MobileServe Account.  MobileServe is what we will be using from now on to track all service hours.  In order to claim your account, you will either need to have computer access or download the app to your smartphone (I highly recommend downloading the App).  It will ask you for your email and password, but rather than filling that out, you can select the Gmail widget below those text boxes and just use your Marquette email and password to automatically login.  There will be an in-person training over the use of this application in the very near future, but I thought I would provide this as a jump start for all of those who want to get a head start.  The system is very intuitive from what I have seen, so I am sure you will all have no problem using it.  There is a video link below that explains how to log the service hours for your use as well.

Here is a video for students on how to log service hours

If you have questions, please save them for the in-person training session.

God Bless,
Fr. Bosse

 
CHRISTIAN SERVICE PHILOSOPHY AND PROGRAM


Marquette Academy has a philosophy based on the gospel message – community service and worship. To give form to the goal of service, all within this community are called to develop means of sharing Christ’s life and spirit with others within and beyond the school community. Service activities will draw from the love of Christ that is fostered at home and school and will become visible gifts from the heart- not seeking reward, but sharing love.

Marquette Academy faculty invites and encourages student participation and involvement in Christian service activities at all grade levels. Service projects and retreats are determined according to school goals. Students are expected to participate in all service projects and retreats. The Junior High will have at least one retreat each year.

Christian Service Hours

The Gospel of Matthew 25:34-40
 “Then the King will say to those at his right hand, ‘Come, O blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; 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.’ Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see thee hungry and feed thee or thirsty and gave thee drink?  And when did we see thee a stranger and welcome thee, or naked and clothe thee?  And when did we see thee sick or in prison and visit thee?’ And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did that to me.’

Philosophy
 Completing Christian service hours is based on the Church’s teachings on the Works of Mercy.  The Catechism of the Catholic Church defines the Works of Mercy as, “Charitable actions by which we come to the aid of our neighbor in his spiritual and bodily necessities.  (2247)
