In the year of 1720 the Pope Clement the XI confirm the creation of an oratorium dictated to Saint Phillip Neri in the city of Guadalajara, in that century propriety of the New Spain kingdom, and capital of the Nueva Galicia Kingdom. Informed of the Pope's dispositions, the King Felipe V de Borbon expided the real document dated in August 13 1721, that announce to the people for begin the constructions of the new oratorium.

The bishop Juan de León Garabito, promoted the "Filipenses" congregations, and found for their

FoundationBy means of papal bull dictated in Rome March of 1720, 22 the Pope XI Clemente it confirmed the foundation of San Felipe's Oratory Neri in the city of Guadalajara, for capital that time of the Kingdom of New Galicia. Informed of the Roman Pontiff's dispositions, the King from Spain, Don Felipe V of Borbón, sent the Real dated Identification August of 1721, 13 in which approves the faithful execution of the Papal Bull, ad effectum the Diocese of Guadalajara proceeded to look for and to acquire an enough lot so that in him the parents filipenses built the provincial house of the sacred Congregation of the Oratory.It was the Bishop Don Juan Santiago from León Garabito who promoted made out to order nun of the same filipenses that had been structured in a congregation whose definitive establishment was 16 May 1679,for who he/she acquired a near lot to the property of the Palm, place that formed the bank norponiente of the village of Guadalajara in the XVIII century and it was contiguous to the College of girls from San Diego of Alcalá.Their majesty gift Fernando VI of Borbón, King from Spain, for Real Identification given in Madrid 25 October 1751, ordered to the filipenses to move to the plazoleta of the Palm or of San Fernando, place where they would erect a dedicated chapel to the Virgin of the Asunción and they would found his school fulfilling this way the educational function that I/you/they had been commended. The alarife Pedro José native Cypress of the town of San Miguel of Mezquitán, was the in charge of so splendid architectural work, under the auspices and the address of the presbytery Cristóbal of Mazariegos.The work was ending for parts, first the school in its patio of plateresque influence, then the Mudejar one and finally the románico, coinciding with the solemn consecration of the temple happened in the year of 1802.The main façade of the school is beside the street San Felipe (seen to the south) and he/she was added the second floor during the fourth decade of the XIX century, however, the property was vacated by the filipenses August 4 1850. This praiseworthy educating activity was interrupted of a plumazo by the dark one, demented and tenacious hand of the terrible Pope I Tweet IX, the same pontiff that censored the Mexican Constitution of 1857, generating with it the fraticida Guerra of Reformation.

During the ReformationThis way the things, and once unoccupied the property, the high clergy put it to disposition of the Order the Sisters of the Charity who dedicated it for Hospital of Needy in the period that embraces from 1850 to 1867. The gentleman president of the Republic, Atty.

The presidential dispositions were fulfilled this way the only explanation, that the property would give housing exclusively to orphan girls. This institution had as director Mrs. María Trishler, up to 1904 in that the property was sold.Merced to the tolerance and the government's porfirista traditional approval toward the clerical organizations, the Secretary of the Treasury and Public Credit Don José Yves Limantour authorized after an expedite evaluation procedure the sale of the centennial I associate filipense, for the quantity of 60,000.00 (sixty thousand pesos 0/100 M.N.), in favour of the lady Mrs. Margarita Pérez Verdía of González Olive groves, the illustrious historian's jaliscience daughter Don Luis Pérez Verdía who fungiera like director of the Secondary school of Males; this sale was notarized by the Notary public Don José Ortiz Gordoa, under the number 7 seven, the day October 10 1904 and he/she registered in the Public Registration of the Property October of the same year 14, with the number 170 and corresponding to the property the number 6928.Principles of the twentieth century
