🏅2025 Silver Medallion Clergy Award Recipient: Fr. Guillermo M. García-Tuñón🏅

Affectionately known as Father Willie, he is widely respected throughout Miami, especially among fellow Catholics, currently serving as the President of Belen Jesuit Preparatory School.

As Father Willie himself puts it, “We are in the business of providing the world and the Church with better men.” His passion for building future leaders — grounded in faith, integrity, and service — burns brighter than ever. And while the world may present challenges and uncertainty, Father Willy continues to remind his students that the values instilled at Belen are not negotiable: truth, service, and a life lived for others.

His legacy extends beyond the walls of Belen. His vision for Catholic education, his steadfast faith, and his commitment to forming compassionate leaders embody the very essence of humanitarian service.
