Supporting Belen Jesuit is deeply personal to our family because Belen has become much more than a school. It is a community that has played an important role in our three boys’ lives & helped shape them into the young men they are becoming. As parents, we value the education they receive, but we are especially grateful for the values Belen instills in them. Belen encourages our boys to work hard, challenge themselves, support one another, & understand the importance of faith, service, humility, & character.
Each of our three boys has had his own experiences & journey at Belen, but they share something very special: a feeling of belonging to a brotherhood. The friendships, traditions, & memories they are creating will stay with them long after they graduate. Watching our boys grow together through their Belen experience has made us especially grateful for the community that surrounds them.
Supporting Belen is our way of giving back & saying thank you. We are grateful for the teachers, coaches, faculty, & staff who dedicate their time, energy, & passion to helping our boys become the best versions of themselves. Their influence extends far beyond the classroom & has made a lasting impression on our family. The dedication of the Jessica & Carlos Bonzón Wing in the new Student Center makes supporting Belen even more meaningful to us. Seeing this vision become a reality represents the continued growth of a school we are proud to call part of our family. Knowing that our support can help create opportunities for our sons & for generations of Belen students to come makes this moment especially special.
For our family, supporting Belen is an investment in its future & in the young men who will carry its traditions forward. We are proud to be part of the Belen family & to help preserve the brotherhood, faith, & sense of purpose that have meant so much to our three boys.
Three sons, one Belen family, & a legacy we are proud to support.
