St. Peter Catholic Student Center works with local charitable organizations to give back to the Waco community. If you are a student interested in service (or a local organization interested in getting connected) please contact John Maxwell (johnmaxwell@baylorcatholic.org).
All students interested in serving with any organization are strongly encouraged to get VIRTUS trained and are required to comply with all organization requirements. Some opportunities require VIRTUS training. Information regarding VIRTUS training is available periodically in our weekly email. You can learn more about VIRTUS and find other training opportunities through the Diocese of Austin website, or at https://austindiocese.org/eim-compliance-status.
"Caritas of Waco has served families in the local community for over 53 years. We are committed to fighting poverty and food insecurity by providing access to vital resources to those who are most vulnerable. Caritas of Waco emergency service programs provide an immediate assistance, that leads to a greater holistic approach. The ultimate goal is to help clients move from a state of dependency on assistance, to a greater level of self-reliance by providing access to the education, tools and resources needed to be stable long-term."
Volunteer at Caritas here with other members of the St. Peter community on Tuesdays from 1-3 PM. Contact John Maxwell for more information.
We also have student ministries that focus on service! Check out Street Talks for our Homeless Ministry and SPROUT for our parish outreach team!
