THE SPIRIT OF SERVICE AT CATHEDRAL FATHER TIMOTHY SEAMANS, CATHEDRAL SCHOOL CHAPLAIN
Family volunteers at City Hope
IF YOU ATTENDED A HYMN SING CHAPEL THIS PAST YEAR, you were probably witness to a new tradition that we call the “Blessings of Good Samaritans.” The gist is simple: Once a week, we pause to celebrate and bless a handful of students and adults within the school who—like the Good Samaritan character in Jesus’ famous parable—have gone out of their way to engage in acts of kindness, love, or justice without any expectation of recognition or reward. In a word, Good Samaritans are distinguished by their commitment to service.
While the Good Samaritans of the week are limited to those boys and adults who have been secretly nominated by one of their peers, what is not secret is that we at Cathedral place service at the center of each boy’s education. As we learn to live with COVID and transition to a ‘new normal’ of life and school, it is worth pausing to renew our commitment to service and to explore what this commitment looks like for the next chapter of CSB.
