Spiritual development is an integral element of the religion program at Bishop McDevitt. This consists of daily prayers at the opening exercises of the school day, in classrooms, and public services consisting of the Celebration of the Mass, Liturgy of the Hours, Para-Liturgical Services, Benediction and Eucharistic devotions, and retreat activities. All students are required to be present for spiritual activities and to conduct themselves in a respectful manner. All students are obliged to participate in a retreat each year. |

Prayer
Every day at Bishop McDevitt opens and closes with prayer. Classes, lunch, meetings, activities, and athletics are also times when we pray together. These times of prayer are of special importance to the Bishop McDevitt community. All students are expected to participate wholeheartedly in all forms of prayer: An attitude of reverence and respect for prayer; including focused attention and a sense of quiet when appropriate, is expected from all students regardless of their religious backgrounds.
