Thanks to a remarkable $20 million estate gift from Paul R. Salmon, Bellarmine College Preparatory is one of eight Jesuit high schools in California that will receive annual support to advance their shared mission of forming young men of competence, conscience, and compassion.
Mr. Salmon, a graduate of Loyola High School of Los Angeles (Class of 1953) and Santa Clara University (Class of 1957), credited his Jesuit education with shaping his values, faith, and character. A decorated Army veteran and successful businessman, he dedicated his estate to ensure future generations would have access to the same transformative educational experience.
Bellarmine is honored to be among the recipients of this extraordinary act of generosity, which will help sustain and expand opportunities for students to grow in faith, scholarship, and service.
