History
Cathedral Preparatory Seminary is a secondary school for young men who have expressed a desire to consider priesthood as an option in discerning a vocation. For this purpose, the school was established in 1914 by the Bishop of Brooklyn, and continues today under the auspices of Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio. In 1963 the Elmhurst division was opened. In 1985 the original Brooklyn school was closed, leaving the Elmhurst school to serve students from both Kings and Queens Counties. Since 1914 nearly 4,000 students have received their high school diplomas from Cathedral Prep. The school alumni include Cardinals, Bishops, Priests, Religious and dedicated laity who serve the Church and society.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“You that would judge me do not judge alone
This book or that, come to this hallowed place
Where my friends’ portraits hang and look thereon;
Ireland’s history in their lineaments trace;
Think where man’s glory most begins and ends
And say my glory was I had such friends.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“The history of mankind interests us only as it exhibits a steady gain of truth and right, in the incessant conflict which it records between the material and the moral nature.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
““And now this is the way in which the history of your former life has reached my ears!” As he said this he held out in his hand the fatal letter.”
