Ultimately, all of the faith at Cristo Rey Dallas would be fruitless if it didn’t lead to a difference in our lives and community. An attitude of servant leadership is the distinguishing characteristic of a member of the Cristo Rey Dallas community. This attitude flows from a recognition of the blessings that we have received, and is the first step in sharing those gifts with those around us. Members of the Cristo Rey Dallas community are expected to serve each other in the school, to serve the neighborhood, and to serve the world.
There are no specific requirements for service hours or activities. This comes with the assumption that students will live lives of service and make the most of the opportunities that are presented to them throughout their time at Cristo Rey Dallas. While there are no specific service requirements for students, Cristo Rey Dallas does expect all students to participate in our annual MLK Day ON of service. Additionally, students serve our community and engage in local social justice initiatives through our monthly Service Saturdays, the Ignatian Family Teach-In for Justice in Washington, D.C., national and international service trips, and partnership with local community nonprofits and organizations.
