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.

“American time has stretched around the world. It has become the dominant tempo of modern history, especially of the history of Europe.”
