2023 Beyond Sunday Fellows Service Projects

Registration for Spring 2023 Service Projects is now CLOSED.

The Roman Catholic Foundation has planned the 2023 annual Beyond Sunday Fellows Service Projects with a focus on inspiring our Fellows to take action to strengthen our community. These service events are for all 2022-2023 Beyond Sunday high school scholarship recipients from Catholic high schools throughout the Archdiocese of St. Louis.

At the Fellows Faith and Leadership Encounter last fall, Beyond Sunday Fellows learned about Evangelization. By charitably making positive impact on our community, they will learn to evangelize through work. The Fellows will learn about the mission and history of the organization they chose for their activity prior to doing volunteer service work. Activities include preserving and restoring an archdiocesan relic and assisting disabled individuals play baseball.

A core objective of the Fellows Program is to build fellowship among Catholic high school students while serving the community. Therefore, Fellows are required to select from one of the listed service projects as a concrete and visible way of putting their faith in action in the service of others.
