Upon graduating in 2003, he volunteered as a teacher and coached rugby at St. George’s College in Kingston, Jamaica. The experience was transformative for Fr.

DeLeon earned a Master of Social Philosophy at Loyola University Chicago and then taught for three years at Christ the King Jesuit College Preparatory School, a Cristo Rey Network school on Chicago’s west side. Missioned in 2012 to the Jesuit School of Theology of Santa Clara University in Berkeley, California, Fr. DeLeon earned a Master of Divinity while serving as a deacon at St. Patrick Parish in Oakland, California and St. Ignatius College Preparatory in San Francisco, California. He also spent a semester studying theology at Hekima College in Nairobi, Kenya and working at St. Aloysius Gonzaga, a high school for AIDS orphans in the Kibera slum of Nairobi in 2014. After six consecutive summers of study, he earned a Master of Theology in July 2015 from the Institute for Black Catholic Studies at Xavier University of Louisiana. Ordained in June of 2015, Fr. DeLeon spent a year serving as the associate pastor at St. Columbanus Catholic Church on Chicago’s south side. In 2016, Fr. DeLeon was missioned to work at Loyola high school, a Jesuit high school on the west side of Detroit, where he teaches Theology, coaches wrestling and rugby, and leads campus ministry and Ignatian formation of the students, faculty and staff. Fr. DeLeon will obtain his EdD in Educational Leadership from the University of Pennsylvania in spring 2021.
