Today’s was a beautiful celebration of brotherhood and family. This special day on campus brought together the Classes of 1951, 1956, 1961, 1966, 1971, 1976, 1981, 1986, 1991, 1996, 2001, 2006, 2011, 2016, and 2021 to reconnect and return home to their alma mater.

The day began with a beautiful Mass in the Our Lady of Belen Chapel, celebrated by Fr. Willie, S.J. ’87. Our led campus tours, a wonderful lunch was shared, and the afternoon was filled with dominoes, ci**rs, and plenty of laughter. More than anything, it was a time to catch up with old friends, reconnect with former teachers, and see firsthand how Belen continues to grow and thrive.

Another milestone worth celebrating at this year’s —congratulations to the Class of 1976 on their 50th reunion. A brotherhood that has stood the test of time and continues to reflect the enduring spirit of Belen.

We are honored to celebrate this year’s alongside the Class of 1956 as they mark an incredible 70 years since graduation. Their lifelong brotherhood and unwavering love for Belen stand as a powerful witness to what it means to be part of this community. We are deeply grateful for their example and continued support of their alma mater.

The Class of 2025 was welcomed home today as they reunited with their Belen brothers at the annual Bricklaying Ceremony—held for the first time in the Arroyo Quad. This meaningful tradition brings together not only our young alumni, but also their families, celebrating the lifelong bond of brotherhood.

Fr. Willie, S.J. ’87, opened the ceremony by blessing the bricks and leading us in prayer, while Mr. Roca ’84 greeted families and assisted in placing the bricks.
