Family Service

Every family with at least one child enrolled at Cardinal Stritch Catholic High School & Academy, preschool-12, is required to perform at least 30 Cardinal Family Service Hours per school year.

Cardinal Family service hours may be completed through Cardinal Stritch Catholic High School & Academy or at your place of worship. We request that at least 15 hours be completed at school by working home athletic events, fundraising events, or one of the many opportunites where we partner to help those in need. High school students may count their hours in the parishes as either Cardinal Stritch Hours or S.O.S. Hours (service hours required for graduation), but not both.

All school volunteers MUST complete the VIRTUS training. VIRTUS is a (Safe Environment Policy of the Diocese of Toledo) where you complete, online, a Protecting God’s Children and Vulnerable Adults course. Contact Jacqueline Maume, Coordinator, Office of Child and Youth Protection for the Diocese of Toledo, at 419-214-4880 with any questions.

(VIRTUS involves setting up an account, completing the online training, completing the online background check which costs $25 and paid at the time of service and finally, acknowledging that the person has read the Standards and Guidelines form online. The VIRTUS certification is good for five years.)
