Our Lady of Good Aid Cathedral Primary School

150th anniversaries being celebrated 6000 miles apart

Mark Huang, a good friend of Mr Young, lives 6000 miles away in Hong Kong and he got in touch on Thursday 20th February to let Mr Young know that Cathedral Primary and the forerunner of the school he attended in HK have something in common: they’re both 150 years old!

Six French and Irish De La Salle Brothers made the long and arduous journey to Hong Kong 150 years ago, establishing St Joseph’s College in 1875: the exact same year our parish school opened its doors for the first time. What a special connection, as well as an important reminder that we’re part of the Universal Church which continues to flourish and change lives for the better.
