Saint Luke Institute

In early 2024, Dr. Marc DelMonico announced that he has been named to the leadership team of Saint Luke Institute (SLI). He serves as Director of Communications and SLIconnect, the organization’s online learning platform, and oversees significant aspects of educational initiatives and development.

Saint Luke Institute is an independent, international Catholic education and treatment center dedicated to healthy life and ministry for priests, deacons, religious women and men, laity and other church leaders. The Institute also offers resources for Catholic clergy, religious and lay leadership from experts in psychological and spiritual health and ministry through SLIconnect, an online learning platform offering over 200 webinars on healthy life and ministry. The platform also promotes consultations with SLI’s expert licensed psychologists and expert spiritual directors, and SLIconnect also offers academic and ministerial articles on timely topics at the intersection of psychology and ministry. The goal of all of these offerings is to provide the People of God with ministers who are psychologically and spiritually prepared for their roles of leadership and service and possess the skills to minister according to the model and teachings of Jesus and the Gospels. In his director role, Dr. DelMonico strategizes efforts to build upon the strong educational work of the Institute, and to promote its core outpatient clinical work. The organization’s main office is located outside of Washington, D.C. in Silver Spring, Maryland, with clinical offices in Timonium, Md., Louisville, Kentucky, and one in Manchester, United Kingdom.
