Abstract	This study describes the experiences of a group of individuals who attended a southern California Catholic boys' high school, and the men who taught them. The goal of this study was to relate a narrative that explained how an education, steeped in the Christian Brothers' mission provided a quality education for the poor, and shaped the lives, perspectives, and values of the graduates. The narrative, reported through a social perspective inspired by Catholic Social Teaching (CST) and the philosophical writings of Jacques Maritain and Alasdair MacIntyre, showed how the graduates received a quality education from the Brothers and absorbed a strong sense of Catholic virtue, including a commitment toward social justice, an understanding of role of building and sustaining community, and an appreciation for giving back to society. Cathedral High, a small Catholic high school in Los Angeles, is an embodiment of MacIntyre's belief that small communities, dedicated to upholding moral virtue and civility offer the possibility of reforming a society currently mired in individualistic and materialistic pursuits. A further implication is that Catholic schools, with their well-documented record for providing effective education for the poor, should remain an educational option for low-income families.
