WE DID IT! The first year $200,000 match is complete! 💛💙
Thanks to the generosity of our community, we reached the first-year goal of the Cross Works Foundation where our $200,000 raised was matched dollar for dollar, giving us $400,000 into our capital campaign. The Cross Works Foundation has pledged to support this match for 5 consecutive years, which will total $1million from them.
As we approach the start of 2026/27 school year, the momentum continues! Anything that was received beyond the first-year goal, including additional gifts arriving by mail, will be applied towards year two of the Foundation’s five year matching commitment.
With year one successfully matched, we are already jumping into year two. Thank you for believing in our students, our mission, and the future of our schools.

Remembering Bob Stewart: A Gentle Shepherd and Champion of
Catholic Education.

Bob served as President of Cathedral High School (CHS)/John XXIII from July 1999 - March 2010. Those who worked closely with Bob consistently describe his deep faith, steady leadership, and calming presence. "If you looked up the definition of leadership in the dictionary, you would find Bob.", says Melanie Theisen.

Described as a giant among men, Bob Stewart's legacy lives on through the countless students, educators, and families whose lives he touched. His gentle leadership, unwavering faith, and commitment to Catholic education continue to shape Catholic Community Schools and will benefit generations to come.

We have a new site for Cathedral Activities scheduling and ticketing.

⚾🏆 What a memorable night for our Crusader Baseball State Champions!
Last night, our baseball team was honored at Target Field. As the stadium started to fill, several baseball state champions were recognized and our team then walked the perimeter of the field, proudly representing our school and community.
As guests, the Crusaders enjoyed the Minnesota Twins game and to top off the evening, the Twins came away with the win!
Congratulations once again to our state champion Crusaders. We are so proud of this team and grateful they were able to celebrate their remarkable season on one of baseball's biggest stages.

Although school ended in May, a number of Crusader teams represented Cathedral st STATE tournaments in June.
Here is a round up on baseball.

The Baseball team made it all the way to Target Field and came home with the state championship title. They beat Glencoe-Silver Lake 4-0 to win.
Three Crusaders were named All State tournament team, Charlie Dolan, Jacob Oliver and Jack Hamak.

Cathedral junior Ryan Liebrenz was named to the Strib Varsity All-Minnesota Baseball team, one of only 25 players state-wide to be honored.

Jack Hamak was named the St. Cloud Live ‘Starting Nine Player of the Year!’
Ryan Liebrenz and Jacob Oliver were also named to the top nine and Henry Schloe earned honorable mention.

Henry was selected to play in the Lions All-Star series.

An outstanding season for our Crusader baseball team ⚾️💙💛

String Summer Camp this August 10-14th at Cathedral. All skill levels welcome. Need an instrument? No problem! Try a violin, viola, cello, or bass at our String Sizing Event, free of charge on August 4th. We would love to see you there!

Our international students enrich the student body that we cherish at Cathedral. For this coming academic year we are currently seeking a host family for one of our new international students. Hosting an international student is a wonderful opportunity to learn about other cultures and create lifelong international connections.
Paula is from Queretaro, Mexico and will be a 10th grader. On her next birthday, in July she will be 16 years old. Paula enjoys listening to music, watching movies and sports, and getting ice cream with her friends or relaxing and playing board games at home. Paula is very involved in dance and hopes to participate in dance at Cathedral. She recently traveled to the United States for a cheerleading competition. Paula is looking forward to making new friends, practicing her English and making a lot of memories during her time in the U.S.A.

As a host family, you will welcome a student into your home and family life. Students need their own bedroom and a place to study. They come with their own spending money, health insurance and as hosts, you will receive a monthly stipend to offset the costs of having an additional household member.
NB: Paula is allergic to cats.
