Milestone Anniversaries Celebrated
The school community annually celebrates the Feast of St. Joseph the Worker and recognizes employees celebrating milestone anniversaries. St. Joseph has two feast days on the liturgical calendar. The first is March 19—Joseph, the husband of Mary. The second is May 1—Joseph, the Worker.
“Our teachers and staff are committed to Jesuit education,” said Principal José E. Roca ‘84. “They truly believe that teaching is a vocation and consider the Catholic Christian formation of our young men to be a priority.”
Our heartfelt congratulations to the employees who were honored during the Mass. Their unwavering commitment to Jesuit education, which forms the backbone of our school's ethos, is commendable.

Belen Jesuit Preparatory School was founded in 1854 in Havana, Cuba by Queen Isabel II of Spain. The task of educating students was assigned to the priests and brothers of the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits), whose teaching tradition is synonymous with academic excellence and spiritual discipline. In 1961, the new political regime of Cuba confiscated the School property and expelled the Jesuit faculty. The School was re-established in Miami the same year, and over the next decade, continued to grow. Today, Belen Jesuit sits on a 30-acre site in western Dade County, only minutes away from downtown Miami.
