Arrupe College is named after Father Pedro Arrupe, S.J., a Jesuit priest who was born in Spain in 1907. During World War II, Father Arrupe (pronounced Ah-roop-eh) was teaching near Hiroshima, Japan, when the first atomic bomb fell, and he transformed the Jesuit residences into a makeshift hospital. In 1965, he was elected superior general of the Society of Jesus. Throughout his life, Father Arrupe called upon Jesuit schools to educate men and women to serve others—an ideal that now guides Jesuit schools across the world. Learn more
