Marian Acts in Christian Service (MACS) is a required program designed for students to receive academic credit for Christian volunteer service given to an agency, church, or organization approved by Marian’s Campus Minister. (The student must obtain the Campus Minister’s approval of the organization before beginning to volunteer.) MACS seeks to provide the Marian student with an opportunity for actively living out her faith and beliefs by being of service to people in need. The spiritual and corporal works of mercy must be used as a guide for selecting a service project. Students may elect 40 hours of service for ½ credit or 80 hours for one full credit. Service must be fulfilled outside of the school day and off the school site. The MACS requirement is fulfilled when all hours have been worked and all the required paperwork and documentation has been filed in the Campus Ministry Office.

A student must complete and document a minimum of 40 hours of approved service prior to June 30th of her Junior year.
