What is Cathedral
Prep Seminary? Well for one thing, it is not a high school, although
it used to be. In fact, for many years, Cathedral Preparatory Seminary
High School instructed and prepared hundreds of men to enter into the
next stage of their development as seminarians preparing to become priests.
And while many men became priests and have served in the Archdiocese
of New York their entire lives, many others decided on other vocations
such as marriage, parenthood and the single state. Today, hundreds of
alumni recall their days at the old Cathedral Prep as exciting days
of challenge and encouragement to be men of good character and more
importantly, men of God in whatever vocation they eventually followed.
The new Cathedral Prep Seminary, while not a high school, reaches out
to any Catholic young man of high school age in the Archdiocese of New
York and invites him to consider the beautiful vocation to the priesthood.
In accepting this invitation and joining the Cathedral Prep program,
such a young man will carry on the timeless traditions of the Prep in
preparing to be a man of God.
Still interested? Wonderful! More than anyone else in the
world, God wants us to be happy! And for young men, perhaps just
like you, God may be showing you the best way to grow in happiness,
the priesthood of Jesus Christ! The Cathedral Preparatory Seminary
High School Formation Program is for young men in their high school
years who wish to explore the possibilities of the priesthood.
The central office of Cathedral Prep is located at St. Joseph's Seminary.
The Dean of Cathedral Prep, Father Thomas A. Lynch, coordinates all
of the activities of the Prep that take place in the Archdiocese of
New York.
What do you do in the Prep Program?
You participate in periodic gatherings with other interested students
and priests associated with the Prep program.
The main activity of the Prep is the monthly retreat weekend at St.
Joseph's Seminary. Go to the menu above and click on "Retreats"
