Cathedral School is a Special Community

Throughout the year, Cathedral School hosts many events for the community to come together to celebrate the school and its mission.

During Catholic Schools Week in January, Cathedral School hosts a Grandparent & Special Friends Breakfast. Each child is encouraged to invite an adult guest to explore Cathedral School. Students take their guest on a tour of the school and their classroom and enjoy a light breakfast and then attend mass together. This special event is sponsored by the Parents Association.
