About Us
Nourished by the Eucharist, our mission is to continue to reach out to the needy, to embrace our school children and their families, to serve seniors, and to love one another in imitation of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Cathedral School
Administered by the Daughters of Charity, who view education as a freeing process, the Cathedral School provides an atmosphere that speaks the Gospel Message and responds to the needs of society.
​200 Years of Catholic Presents in Wilmington,  Delaware**
"​Most histories tell us that the first Masses in Wilmington were celebrated in the 1790/s when French refugees arrived from Haiti.  But Catholicism had made its appearance a decade earlier than that during the Revolutionary War.
            French Soldiers in 1782 were billeted in the Wilmington Academy, roughly where the Grand Opera House now is.  Catholic army chaplains said Mass there. 
Corpus Christi
The Feast of Corpus Christi (Latin for "Body of Christ") is the Roman Rite liturgical solemnity celebrating the reality of the body and blood of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, in the Eucharist—known as transubstantiation. Two months earlier, the Eucharist is observed on Maundy Thursday in a somber atmosphere leading to Good Friday. Corpus Christi emphasizes the joy of the Eucharist being the body   and the Blood of Christ.

“Mission is never the fruit of a perfectly planned program or a well-organized manual. Mission is always the fruit of a life which knows what it is to be found and healed, encountered and forgiven. Mission is born of a constant experience of God’s merciful anointing.”​  Pope Francis
