The school's mission statement drives the Theology Department to deepen students' faith with a global perspective, while service initiatives like Elizabeth Prout Days allow students to embody the Corporal Works of Mercy through concrete actions. For example, 

• Freshmen students “fed the hungry” by organizing and hosting a prayer service and community spring celebration lunch at an inner city senior center. 
• Sophomores “visited the sick/shut-ins” by visiting, conversing, playing games, celebrating Mass, writing letters and giving artwork at several nursing homes. 
• Juniors “sheltered the  homeless” by helping a local temporary shelter open its doors for the first time during the cold winter season and served in the garden, organized clothes donations and made and provided bag lunches at an inner city homeless shelter as well as hearing powerful stories from people who had experienced homelessness. 
• Seniors “visited the imprisoned” by learning about and participated in the Diocese’s “Just Prayers” initiative by writing prayer cards in English and Spanish to inmates. 
• Junior and Senior students participated in the Romero Center’s “Urban Challenge” program and assisted with several organizations that serve the poor in Camden, NJ. Through these experiences students learned that they could “use God’s gifts to help others and not take what we have for granted and that “God teaches us to help the less fortunate and love everyone by spreading love and care, just like Jesus did.”
