The Class of 2010

Cathedral School days on Mulberry Street…..

Sent from Edward Shipley ‘47

Ed shares, “Sisters Aloysius and Grace, and myself, wearing glasses and standing to the right and behind Sister Grace.  I am at a loss to identify any of the other students in the picture. All of those in the picture may not be from the class of 1947 - I seem to be one of the taller students, and that does not match my recollection of my height compared to others in the class. Neither am I sure of the event that occasioned the taking of this picture; it may have been something like Sister Grace's 50th anniversary as a teacher. I would be happy for what ever information about the picture you can supply.”

Best regards,

Ed Shipley ‘47


If you know who else is in this picture from the old school on Mulberry Street, please email the development office, mmiller@cmoq.org , Mary Miller 410-464-4014.

 We would love to hear from you!

Greetings from the Office of Development!

The Development Office celebrates its 19th anniversary this year, as it was established in 1991 to provide a vehicle for development and future planning. The goal of this office is to develop a "meaningful involvement" of people in our school's mission and vision for the future, which is to nurture and challenge our students in every way.

Our office publishes The Report Card, which is the school/alumni newsletter, 3 times a year.  The Report Card is also online, click here for the issues available. We handle any alumni activities and reunions. We will hold our 2010 Bull & Oyster Roast on October 9, 2010. We anticipate many Cathedral parents, alumni, parishioners, and friends will come to enjoy this wonderful event! If you would like more information, please contact the Development Office by e-mail or phone, 410-464-4014. Please check out our Facebook group for more information on the Bull & Oyster Roast as well.

The 7th Annual Cathedral Open will be held at the Elkridge Club on September 17, 2010. Proceeds will go to the School of the Cathedral Endowment Fund. We give special thanks to the McGeady Family, school parents (Mike and Emily) and their family who are parishioners, as our Major Sponsor. Please contact the Office of Institutional Advancement for more information.

Each fall we have an Annual Fund Campaign for our school.  The funds generated directly help our present school students in many ways.  We are pleased to share that we are close to our goal of $50,000 in our 2009-2010 campaign due parent, alumni, and student support. Funds raised will benefit upgrades in our school library and tuition assistance. Please contact the Office of Institutional Advancement if you are able to make a gift. Last Year's Annual Fund generated just over $40,000 and was used for technological enhancements and tuition assistance.

It is your support and involvement which enables the School of the Cathedral to thrive and uphold its high standard of education for young students of today and tomorrow. I hope you enjoy our website and encourage you to contact us if you have any questions!

Warm Regards,
Mary Suarez-Murias Miller '73
Director of Development

HISTORY OF THE OFFICE OF DEVELOPMENT - contact us

The Office of Development was established in 1991 in order to provide a vehicle for development and for future planning for the school. The office consists of a Director and an Assistant to the Director. There is also a Development Advisory Committee. Since its inception the Office has sponsored four "All-Class" and three "50+ Year" alumni reunions. It publishes a school/alumni newsletter (3 times a year) called The Report Card, maintains alumni relations, coordinates the Annual Fund Campaign, and recent Capital Campaign. The office manages the Planned Giving efforts for the school which provide income for the School Endowment Fund established through the Catholic Family Foundation. Other activities include advertising and public relations, grant writing, monitoring Capital Maintenance gifts and maintaining its records. The office also oversees activities for the Middle School Committee and its Spirit Teams throughout the year. Several events that are sponsored through the office are the Cathedral Golf Open, Grandparents and Special Friends Day, Innisbrook Gift Wrap (code for Cathedral is 104481), and the Year-End Family Picnic in June. It continues to maintain a high profile for the school in the community through public relations and promotional efforts. All funds raised by the Office of Institutional Advancement directly benefit the school. The Development Office works closely with the parish to provide further enhancements for both the school and parish.

Welcome to our new Alumni President,
Virginia Fingles Kelly ‘90

We welcome Virginia Fingles Kelly '90 as our new Alumni Association President at the School of the Cathedral. We thank Mary Blake Heying Foster ’73 for serving as our President for the past several years.

"Ginna" is busy raising four young children and is an active volunteer at The School of the Cathedral, Grace Preschool, and The Bryn Mawr School, where she also sits on the Alumnae Board. After graduating from the University of Delaware, where she met her husband, Ryan Kelly, Ginna taught English and coached lacrosse at Mercy High School in Baltimore, MD. She also earned her Masters Degree in School Counseling from Loyola University while teaching at Mercy. Ginna and her family live in Homeland and their oldest daughter, Maggie, is a soon-to-be Second-grader at SCMOQ. Their second daughter, Carter, will attend Pre-First here in the fall. Some of Ginna's best friends are the ones she met at Cathedral and she is looking forward to reconnecting with old friends and schoolmates as well. Ginna says, "Cathedral is a very special place. I love the Catholic atmosphere, parental involvement, and the smiling, happy, and loving students, teachers, and parents you see whenever you are there."
