 What is CSE?
Marist's Christian Service Experience seeks to move the classroom discussion of the personal and social components of Christian lifestyle into real life instances of service and ministry. CSE is a service learning instance of education that brings the student to the community so he/she can experience living the principles an beliefs of their chosen Christian lifestyle. The student is directed to service projects that promote works for justice and the promotion of peace. CSE provides an experience of primarily a person-to-person service to the most needy in the community. CSE is the chance for the Marist student to respond to Jesus' call to feed, clothe, comfort, teach and help "the least needy of my brothers and sisters." (Matthew 25:31-46). This call, repeated throughout history in the Church's teachings and documents, has always been generously practiced by the faithful in the Christian community. It is now passed on to our students to carry out the work of Christ and contribute to building a better world for all. What does the Marist student do for Christian Service? A minimum of 65 hours of personal service rendered to some of the most needy members of our community is a requirement of all graduates of Marist Catholic High School. Christian service may begin the summer after the student's Sophomore year. The CSE is a gift of life, not simply a requirement for graduation. It is a start of a lifetime's gift of self for others.
