Our Founding Legacy

On Christmas Eve, 1912, a parishioner of the Church of St. Ignatius Loyola presented Pastor Rev. David W. Hearn, SJ, with a gift to purchase land and build a tuition-free Jesuit school for Catholic young men.

From its opening in 1914 until the late 1960s, Regis was regarded by our Foundress and her children as their private charity. Only in the late 1960s did they reluctantly agree to allow the alumni of Regis to contribute to the school's financial support. Today, Regis continues to flourish thanks to the legacy of the Founding Family and the generosity of its alumni, families, and friends.
