Give With All Your Heart

As a Catholic and Benedictine school, Delbarton actively fosters a culture of service, and community service is seen as an essential part of Delbarton’s mission to educate the whole person.

 Love of neighbor, grounded in the love of God, is a responsibility that we have in common and is an expression of the Benedictine charism of hospitality which welcomes everyone as Jesus Christ (The Rule of St. Benedict, 53:1). Love, expressed in compassion and reverence for others, has the power to overcome injustice that often surrounds us.  By making a sincere gift of ourselves to others, we fulfill the meaning of our existence, discover true personal happiness, and contribute to genuine social progress. 

Each year, every Delbarton student is expected to participate in community service projects. Older students act as service project coordinators and develop leadership skills. Students also are invited to develop projects of their own. At our annual Community Service Fair in September, our young men learn about and sign up for the various service opportunities. In a typical year, 100% of Delbarton students voluntarily participate in our robust community service program
