What is the definition of spirituality in Catholic church?

I'm not sure that the Catholic Church has any official definition of spirituality. I suspect if you asked a theologian (professional religion teacher or expert) what "Spirituality" means, he or she would probably reach for an ordinary dictionary for the definition. It's just not a word used that much in Catholic intellectual circles, at least that I am aware of. Why don't you rephrase and re-post the question like this.: "This is what I mean when I use the word "spirituality": (fill in the blanks). What word would a Catholic theologian or teacher use to describe that sort of thing?" I suspect you would get a more informative answer that way. Spirituality is just not a word used very often when discussing things Catholic.

If a question says what does a Catholic school mean to you what would you say about that?

At this point in time, I would say that it should mean that the students are getting educated and learning the Catholic faith, and how to be a good citizen and a Christian. I am not always sure that is so in some of our Catholic schools, so one would have to investigate the particular school and find out what kind of graduates are coming out of it.

Is the crucifix used in Catholic churches?

I'm not sure what you mean by 'mandatory' symbol. The crucifix is called a sacramental; it is an item that is supposed to help Catholics focus on some aspect of spirituality. There are no devotions to any of these things (sacramentals) that are 'mandatory' to membership in good standing.
