30 Employees Recognized During St. Joseph the Worker Mass
Each year the school community 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. Since the dedication of the chapel was held on May 1st, the Mass for St. Joseph was observed on the 4th.
“Our teachers and staff are committed to Jesuit education,” said Principal José E. Roca ‘84. “They truly believe that teaching is a vocation and they live their faith on a daily basis.”
Congratulations to the 30 employees that were honored during the Mass.

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.
