She spent a year volunteering with the Fellowship Of Catholic University Students (FOCUS) and came to the organization through her interest in nonprofit work and the Catholic faith.
COMMUNICATIONS
Melissa Squarcia joined Catholic Leadership Institute as Communications Coordinator in June 2007.

Prior to NBC, Melissa worked for her alma mater, Villanova University, in the Office of the Alumni Association. She graduated with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Communication. Melissa was led to CLI by her passion for her faith and her pursuit to be a voice and representative for today’s Catholics.
A NEW HOME IN EXTON, PA
Expanding the organization to provide the world’s best in leadership development to priests in 13 dioceses requires a larger team and a larger space. In 2003, Catholic Leadership Institute moved from one, ten by twelve office to an office five times larger on the grounds of the Malvern Retreat House to accomodate the then full-time staff of three. Thanks to the generosity of the Malvern Retreat House, Catholic Leadership Institute was able to expand its operations dramatically over the past four years.
This year with 12 full-time team members, Catholic Leadership Institute has found a new home in the Whiteland Business Park in Exton, PA. The space is six times CLI’s previous headquarters and can accomodate upwards of twenty team members.
Catholic Leadership Institute is sincerely grateful to the Malvern Retreat House for its outstanding hospitality and continuing partnership in building Catholic leaders for today and tomorrow. CLI would also like to thank Premier Office Solutions and several other donors for providing beautiful furniture and equipment for its new headquarters.
