About Cathedral Senior Secondary School
In 1858 history was in the making when a young Irish priest Rev. Fr. William Gleeson came to Lucknow. He sold the land of the former mission at Golaganj and out of the proceeds and subscriptions raised from the public; he purchased a plot of land at Hazratganj which was then in the wilderness. In 1860 he built a beautiful Church and dedicated it to St. Joseph. This Church was blessed by Bishop Anastasius Hartmann on the 10th of May 1862. In the same year Rev. Fr. William Gleeson built a boundary wall and a priest’s house in 1860 -1862. He then handed over charge of the station to Rev. Fr. Felix O.F.M. Cap, of Turin.
