Christian Service
Christian service is an expression of faith students learn in the classroom, and Roncalli students contribute thousands of hours of service to the Aberdeen community annually. Volunteer service is a classroom requirement for most Roncalli students, but all students, beginning in preschool, learn the meaning of sharing their talents and giving back to the community. Christian service helps develop a strong sense of personal responsibility and commitment to the larger society.
Fifth -grade students work closely with Aberdeen's Presentation Sisters. Sixth-grade students volunteer as Junior Docents at the Dacotah Prairie Museum. Junior high and high school students perform a variety of service projects. High school students serve lunch at the Salvation Army weekly. Seniors mentor local at-risk youth.
