As a Catholic school, the basic practices reflect a Catholic Christian orientation to God. The Spiritual Life Office is dedicated to the spiritual well-being of the students, faculty, and staff of Delone Catholic. We strive to empower our students to live as disciples of Jesus Christ, foster their participation in the life of the Church, and enter more deeply into a personal relationship with God. Together the Director of Spiritual Life and the chaplain do this through a variety of activities, such as:
- Monthly school-wide liturgies,
- Weekly Mass on Thursdays during the beginning of "A" lunch in Our Lady, Queen of Peace Chapel,
- Weekly Eucharistic Adoration on Fridays during both lunches in Our Lady, Queen of Peace Chapel,
- School-wide Penance services during Advent and Lent,
- Rosary on the first Tuesday of every month in Our Lady, Queen of Peace Chapel at 9:30 a.m., open to the whole community,
- Weekly Stations of the Cross throughout Lent,
- Interaction with seminarians from Mount St. Mary's Seminary during their Pastoral Field Experience,
- Diocesan Seminary Day at Mount St. Mary's Seminary,
- Annual visit to the Convent of Divine Love in Philadelphia,
- Respect Life Club,
- Participation in the March for Life in Washington, D.C.,
- Peer Ministry,
- Student Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion,
- SportsLeader
- Kate + F.A.I.T.H. (Females Acquiring Intelligence to Happiness) Girls' Fellowship Group,
- Student representatives on the Diocesan Youth Council,

A Note from Mrs. Phenicie
My heart for ministry springs from John Paul II's call for a New Evangelization: walking alongside today's young men and women as they encounter a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and take ownership of that relationship. I was educated at the Augustine Institute: "a new kind of graduate school for the New Evangelization," and I'm honored and excited to spread the Gospel at Delone Catholic!
