BUILDING COMMUNITY
At Belen Jesuit, building community isn’t just a goal—it’s part of who we are. Rooted in our Catholic, Jesuit mission, we believe that education extends beyond the classroom and into the shared experiences that unite students, families, alumni, and friends.
BUILDING BROTHERHOOD & FAMILY BONDS
From the first day of class, students are immersed in activities that strengthen brotherhood and family connections. Grade-level events, service projects, and athletic programs all work together to build a sense of unity and belonging. Each opportunity—whether on the playing field, in a club meeting, or during a retreat—reflects our Jesuit values of faith, service, and Magis, the call to strive for more.
GRADE LEVEL EVENTS
| 6TH GRADE LOCK-IN & PARENT SOCIAL |
The annual sixth grade Lock-In is an exciting and memorable tradition for the youngest members of our school community. The evening will consist of several activities to promote unity within the sixth-grade class. The sixth-grade parent social will coincide with the Lock-In.

GRANDPARENTS CLUB | Grandparents are an integral and important part of a child's life and provide a bridge between parents and children. The Grandparents Club at Belen Jesuit is an opportunity to enrich and nurture the relationship between grandson and grandparents and support the school. Masses are offered in the Our Lady of Belen Chapel for the members of the Grandparents' Club. Grandsons are encouraged to attend. Additionally, the club is responsible for a booth at the annual Tombola festival. Members are tasked with selling special Belen-branded merchandise geared toward grandparents. |
