Why give to Cathedral?  Because Cathedral creates an environment for growth and learning. 

When I think of Cathedral, I think of people grounded in the belief that education is the avenue toward living a life of promise.  A belief that a nurturing and challenging environment can prepare a child for whatever lies in the future.  We are a community that understands that an environment for life centered on learning inspires children to reach their greatest potential. 

Cathedral teachers continue to be essential to providing our students a challenging education with an emphasis on personal growth and integrity.  Help preserve this tradition today with a gift to the Cathedral School Improvement Fund. 

With the financial support of parents (past and present), alumni, grandparents, and friends, Cathedral creates an environment for living and learning, which nurtures the young people it serves to fulfill the promise of their individual gifts. 

The Gift that Keeps on Giving
 
Your generosity today helps our students for many years to come. There are financial contributions that can be set up to continue to provide funds for the future of Cathedral School. Here are some suggested gifts that keep on giving:
 
Life Insurance Policies
Naming Cathedral School as a beneficiary of your life insurance policy is a great way to continue providing our students with a quality Catholic education.
 
A Charitable Request
Remember Cathedral School in your will. Bequests can be a specific amount of money or property, a percentage of your estate, a charitable remainder trust in your will, or a contingent bequest.

2008-09 Annual Giving Update
We thank the generous donors who have contributed an overwhelming total exceeding $160,000.  This year’s annual giving funds will be used for the enhancement of the Elementary Social Studies Program (1st through 6th grades) and the Mathematics Program (Kindergarten through 4th grade), new lighting and electric wiring in the Elementary School, as well as the purchase of a new school bus and tractor.
Biff Partridge ’79 and Caroline Ferguson McDonough ’91 provided outstanding leadership to a team of more than 40 volunteers who served on the campaign cabinet and committees. We are extremely grateful for the generosity extended by our parents, alumni and friends during the 2008-2009 academic year.
For more information about being part of raising the bar for Cathedral School through the annual giving campaign, please contact Stephanie or Cara in the Development Office at (601) 445-9844 or email at stephanie.matheney@cathedralgreenwave.com

Memorial Brick Walkway

The Memorial Garden project was started by the 1998-99 Student Council with help from the Knights of Columbus as an effort to memorialize the dedicated Cathedral Family members, as well as beautify the campus.  In addition to the brick sidewalks, the garden has a fountain, benches and statues. 

Once again bricks can be purchased in Cathedral’s Memorial Garden, which is located between Seton Hall and Roy J. Garcia Gymnasium. 

There are two sizes from which you can choose.  4"x8" bricks are $50 each and can hold up to three lines with 16 characters on each line (includes spaces).  We also offer a larger brick - an 8"x8".  Five lines can be placed on these bricks with 16 characters per line (includes spaces).  The cost of the 8"x8" brick is $75 each.

You can honor or memorialize any member of the Cathedral Family by purchasing an engraved brick to be placed in the sidewalk.  You can engrave your family name, honor a teacher, principal, pastor, alumni or loved one, list your company's name, memorialize a deceased loved one, or honor a graduating class.
