Why is service so important at Regis Jesuit? • It is part of our mission as Members of this Catholic, Christian community. • It is in keeping with the gospel message of Christ to share all of the gifts and talents we’ve been given with those who have the least. Performing service can open our eyes to the • injustice and cruelty in our world and teach us to love and understand all people, no matter where they live or what they have.
