Service

Community service is an important part of the Catholic faith tradition and an important part of an STM Catholic education. The School encourages students to put their faith into action in accord with Catholic social teaching - respecting the sanctity of life and dignity of others, responding to the call to participate in the family and community, placing priority on the needs of the poor and the most vulnerable in society, building unity among people, and caring for God’s creation. In addition to opportunities for involvement through various parish ministries and projects, including those of the youth ministry, STM Catholic students collectively run the parish Children’s Charity Fund. Academically qualified students are also invited to participate in the Beta Club, a leadership and service organization at the school.

Beta Club

The STM Catholic Beta Club is local chapter of the National Beta Club, a leadership and service organization headquartered in Spartanburg, SC. Our Beta chapter is open to students in the 6th – 8th grades. To qualify, students must have at least a 3.0 GPA and three teacher recommendations. Presently we have over fifty participating Beta members and two faculty sponsors. Examples of Beta service projects include working on the STM Catholic Back-to-School Picnic, providing puzzles for the residents of the Libby Bortz and the St. Catherine’s Assisted Living Centers, and providing Spring Bags to patients of area hospitals.
