Dear Parents and Guardians,
Welcome to St. Anthony Cathedral Basilica School, where we embrace the richness of Catholic Liberal Education as the foundation of our mission. We believe in nurturing not only the minds but also the hearts and spirits of our students. Here, Jesus Christ and His Church are at the heart of everything we do.
Our traditional, Catholic Liberal Arts vision of education integrates the profound teachings of Catholicism with a comprehensive liberal arts curriculum. This approach emphasizes critical thinking, ethical reasoning, and a deep understanding of human dignity and the Church's teachings on social justice. Our students are encouraged to explore diverse perspectives, engage in meaningful dialogue, and develop a strong sense of community service and responsibility.
As we embark on this journey together, I invite each of you to play an active role in our vibrant school community. As the Church teaches, “parents have the first responsibility for the education of their children” (CCC 2223). Your involvement and support are crucial in fostering a nurturing environment where our students can thrive. I look forward to spending time with you both as a principal and a mother of my three children who are also students at our school!
Ad majorem Dei gloriam,
Jessie Thomas, MPA
