"Whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me." (Matthew 25:40)
When you serve alongside your child, they learn that you see it as important too, and that lesson lasts long after the hours are counted. Parents can serve as Lectors, Screen Operators or Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion at the same Mass as your child.
What counts as Christian service?
Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy and parish ministry: serving the poor, the elderly, people with disabilities and those in need, food pantries, special needs programs, Mass ministries, and helping at Religious Education or Family Days. Paid work, chores at home, and helping your own team or club generally do not count. When in doubt, ask before the activity.
Who can be the supervisor?
An adult in charge at the activity, not a parent or family member. Their email must be correct so they can verify the hours.
The supervisor never verified. Now what?
Check the email address on the entry, ask the supervisor to check spam, and resend from x2VOL. Still stuck? Use the Help Form.
Hours are logged but not counted yet.
Hours count after the supervisor verifies and a teacher approves. Allow a week or two.
Can parents have their own login?
Accounts belong to students. Ask your child to show you the dashboard, which shows hours logged and remaining. Families also receive progress reports by email.
Is there an app?
Yes, search "x2VOL" in the App Store or Google Play. Same login.
Do hours from past years count?
Only service done during the 2026-2027 school year counts toward this year's requirement.
Who do I contact?
Use the Help Form. It goes to Mrs. Stefanie McAuliffe (Grades 6 and 7) and Deacon Anthony Cullen (Grade 8). For x2VOL technical problems: [email protected] or 866-906-6400.
