History

The Instituto Regional Federico Errázuriz was founded in 1940 by Carlos Errázuriz Mena, a member of the Chilean Christian Center Foundation (Spanish; Castilian: Fundación Centro Cristiano),[1] as Instituto Regional Presidente Errázuriz (Spanish; Castilian: President Errázuriz Regional Institute).[4] Its foundation is often attributed only to the Foundation.[5] The institute's first Principal was Father José Kuhl, a Pallottine priest from Limburg, Germany, who also wrote the institute's anthem.[1] [5] [6]

The Pallotines left Chile in 1968, and control of the institute was given back to the Christian Center Foundation.[5] The Bishop of Talca appointed Presbyter Octavio Godoy Reyes as Principal in 1968. He held the job until 1980, when he died.[1] Monsignor Luis Daza Osorio then became Principal, succeeded in 2006 by Oscar Patricio Reyes González,[2] [1] who held the position until 2017. The current principal is Cristian Molina Mera.
