Wichita - St. Mary's Cathedral
Message from Rector
The Cathedral parish is grateful to be participating in the St. Katharine Drexel Catholic School Fund. Although we do not have a school at our location, we still have the responsibility of providing a Catholic education for our young people by paying their tuition at other parish schools. We also have a responsibility for the upkeep of the cathedral church and its new facilities, which hinders how we are able to spend our limited income.
I notice a difference in our young people who attend Catholic schools, as opposed to their counterparts in public education, in terms of attitude, conduct, reverence during liturgies, and participation in parish life. Furthermore, our Catholic school students are oftentimes more adept at leadership. Catholic education makes a real and tangible difference in the lives of these children and in the life of our parish.
