13th Annual Day of Service – Saturday, March 13, 2027
Service to others has long been an important part of formation at Saint Meinrad. Rooted in the Benedictine tradition of ora et labora, or prayer and work, the Saint Meinrad Day of Service brings alumni and friends together to continue this tradition in their local communities.
Each year, volunteers gather in communities across the country to participate in service projects that may last a few hours or most of the day. Projects vary depending on the needs of local organizations and may include serving meals, sorting donations, assisting a parish or nonprofit, completing improvement projects, or other forms of community service. Prayer is also an important part of the Day of Service, and volunteers are encouraged to gather in prayer before or after their service project.
All are welcome to participate! The Day of Service is open to anyone, not just Saint Meinrad alumni. Projects are often led by Saint Meinrad alumni, oblates, and friends.
