St. Joseph’s/Candler Teen Angels

Blessed Sacrament is proud to be first outpost of St. Joseph’s/Candler’s Angels of Mercy Teen Angel program – a community volunteer/education initiative that engages youth and promotes public service through volunteerism.

Therefore, to further enhance  our Christian formation, students in grades six through eight are required to share their gifts through service for others according to the Teen Angel curriculum.

Service hours are mandatory and must be  completed in all three categories: Home/Neighborhood, School/Parish, and Community. This is a joint  responsibility between parent and student. Parents are expected to monitor completion of service hours.

A Teen Angel council meets on a monthly basis. The homeroom Vice-President in grades six through eight will serve on the council. The service hour guidelines are listed below:

6th Grade – 20 hours

(At least) 5 hours from each category

plus 5 elective hours selected from any

category of student’s choice

7th Grade – 30 hours

5 hours from Home/Neighborhood

10 hours from School/Parish

15 hours from Community

8th Grade – 40 hours

10 hours from Home/Neighborhood

10 hours from School/Parish
