    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. MACS seeks to provide the Marian student with an opportunity to actively live out her faith and beliefs by being of service to people in need. The spiritual and corporal works of mercy act 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.
