"Everyone who listens to these words of mine and acts on them will be like a wise man who built his house on rock.  The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and buffeted the house.  But it did not collapse; it had been set solidly on rock." (Mt 7:24-25)

Learn more about the Catholic faith through your Religion classes
Attend a retreat each of your four years at Cathedral for continued spiritual nourishment and personal reflection*

* The retreat program at Cathedral is designed to give students opportunities to develop spiritually by recognizing God in the people and events of their lives.  This is one of the most direct ways we fulfill our mission of helping to develop the whole person in each student.  A variety of activities are used to bring students together and to help them reflect on Christian values and teachings: liturgies and prayer services, peer leadership, music, films, presentations, journaling, quiet prayer time, recreation, small and large group discussions.

* Students on Freshman Retreat will be faced with the question of discovering themselves.  As the new kids on the block, they have a moment in 9th grade to recreate themselves, surrounded by new and different faces.  Freshman retreat is a catalyst for freshmen to lay out their goals for their school career.

* Students on Sophomore Retreat will be given an opportunity to discover God in the needs of others through Christian service.  They will become familiarized with the meaning of Christian service, living out the words and example of Jesus.  Sophomore retreat is a reminder to the sophomores that we, as People of God, are called to be men and women for others.
