we live committed
SPIRITUALITY AT DELBARTON IS AS QUIET AS A PRAYER — YET ACTIVE IN EVERY WAY. FAITH AND SERVICE WILL INVIGORATE ALL YOU DO AND LEARN HERE.
Led by the Benedictine monks of St. Mary’s Abbey, Delbarton continues a 1,500-year tradition of Catholic education that guides students to strive for scholastic and spiritual excellence.
The Abbey church and monastery create a vital focal point of campus, just as the values and example of the Benedictine monks create a vital focus for the Delbarton experience.
We welcome those of all faiths who are eager to take a personal as well as intellectual journey.
campus ministry
Through our Office of Mission and Ministry, students lead a Campus Ministry program that is at the heart of Delbarton.
Each year, six campus ministers, 70 retreat leaders and 100 student service coordinators manage our Campus Ministry retreat and service programs. Service is voluntary, yet everyone serves—because here, we are men for others.
Benedictine Values
As you seek relationships with others and with something greater than yourself, you will be empowered in spirit to take on the life of the mind and body.
Through communal worship and silent reflection, retreat programming and theology coursework, prayer and service, we invite every young man to find God and themselves at Delbarton.
