Outreach to others is essential to who we are as Catholic Christians. Choose three of the following four questions to reflect on and answer. Use both sides of this sheet if necessary. Turn this form in to your mentor, catechist, or teacher within 1 week of providing the service.

1. Describe how you felt before going to do this service site compared to afterwards? Did your

experience change or confirm your thoughts and feelings?

2. What social problem was being addressed at this place of service? (Example: poverty, hunger etc.)

Does the help it provides change the root cause of the problem, or can it only treat the symptoms?

3. What talents or gifts of yours did your involvement in this service call for? How did you use them?

4. What did you learn about yourself from this service experience? Did the experience change how you

feel about people in need? Do you have more or less sympathy/understanding for their problems?

Each one (of us) should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms. (1Pt 4:10)
