Volunteering our time and talents is a Christian principle emphasized at St. Odilia throughout the school year among all grades. Within St. Odilia, students assist with parish liturgies, and older students are paired with younger students to serve as role models and school buddies. Outside our parish, students participate in a variety of grade-level and all-school service projects as recapped below.
