With more than 500 participants in 2019, the Cardinal Cup not only raised much-needed funds for Mother Seton Academy but created a sense of shared community and fellowship for everyone involved.

Mother Seton Academy (MSA) is a tuition-free independent Catholic middle school that serves low income families in Baltimore City. The School of the Cathedral created a relationship with MSA over 25 years ago as a way for the families of the school community to give back to low income families in Baltimore City. We are proud to continue this annual tradition with MSA!
