About the Employer

At Cathedral Prep, it is the priority of the administration and faculty to form Catholic young men who are gentlemen and who strive eagerly to reach academic excellence. Founded as a preparatory high school, Cathedral is also a minor seminary; a place where boys could be comfortable discerning a vocation to the diocesan priesthood at a young age. Keenly aware that both the Church and society need strong, dedicated leaders, Cathedral is determined to stay faithful to forming men as gifted thinkers and as generous servants. Whether our graduates don the vestments of pastoral service as priests or deacons or devote themselves to caring for an individual family, a young man who experiences the Cathedral spirit will be ready and willing to be a man for greatness.
