The Holy Spirit, always active in the Church, prompted to Spanish Capuchin Friar Luis Amigó and Ferrer to found our Congregation on the 12th of April 1889.
As one of the many branches of Franciscan Family, we observed the Holy Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, living in Evangelical Poverty, Consecrated Chastity, Filial Obedience, and in Fraternal Community.
We grow in love incarnating the attitudes of our Spiritual Models – Good Shepherd, Our Lady of Sorrows and St. Francis of Assisi. They are the masters of the spiritual Amigonian life; occupy, then, a determining role in the configuration of our own being and acting.
