Schools Within The Cathedral
The cathedral contains The Right Reverend James M. Stanton Center for Ministry Formation, whose primary mission is to serve people who feel called to the Diaconate; both to aid them in their discernment process and to provide the necessary theological training for possible ordination as deacons. The Cathedral Center is a place where deacons-in-training can be part of a community, attend graduate-level classes, and experience spiritual growth.
The cathedral also offers its facilities to various groups in the diocese and community for a variety of instruction. Not all classes are of a religious nature; classes are also offered for people preparing to take the General Educational Development Test, sign language, and more.

Famous quotes containing the words schools and/or cathedral:
“We’re for statehood. We want statehood because statehood means the protection of our farms and our fences; and it means schools for our children; and it means progress for the future.”
—Willis Goldbeck (1900–1979)
“Now, honestly: if a large group of ... demonstrators blocked the entrances to St. Patrick’s Cathedral every Sunday for years, making it impossible for worshipers to get inside the church without someone escorting them through screaming crowds, wouldn’t some judge rule that those protesters could keep protesting, but behind police lines and out of the doorways?”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1953)
