Cataldo Catholic School at St Augustine

COMMUNITY SERVICE

Community Service is an important part of our religion program. Cataldo Catholic School students participate in many community service activities each year to foster a lifelong desire for service to others and to demonstrate a sense of moral and social responsibility.

Cataldo was also awarded the 2021 Volunteer of the Year by Catholic Charities of Eastern Washington for our commitment to community service.

Summer is for Service

A summer program sponsored by Wheatland Bank and SDS Realty is offered to students going into 6th to 8th grade.  The program focuses on service opportunities and fitness.   Mini-workshops are also offered, such as Wheatland Bank Money Camp.  The combination of these programs help address increased sedentary lifestyle patterns that often occur in the summer months and contribute to obesity and low morale among youth.  This program runs for six weeks during the summer months.
