One hundred and sixty-six years ago, the Daughters of Charity had a vision. If we build it they will come.

Today, it’s our turn. Now is the time. A capital campaign titled, “Our Children, Our Tradition, Our Future,” is being launched this week.

Join the Cathedral family in celebrating at 6 p.m. Thursday in the school cafeteria for the kick-off reception. Dress for the event is casual.

The current campus was built in the 1950s with recent physical improvements in the late 1990s. Annual updates and additions have been made.

For the past three and a half years, committed leadership, many hours of planning, and focused input from hundreds of stakeholders have led to a master plan for the Cathedral school campus.

Phase 1 of the master plan seeks to establish state of the art science labs, a new middle school building, a new athletic field house facility and refurbished restrooms campus-wide.

The master plan goal is to continue to provide a premier, state-of-the-art educational facility that will emphasize faith, academics, family and athletics in order to carry on the spirit and tradition of Cathedral School in our community.

This is our vision for the future. Cathedral has a legacy of generosity and a long history of giving.

Won’t you be part of this legacy? Every gift counts! We will do this together. Now is the time.

Come and celebrate with us!
