History

The Federico Errázuriz Regional Institute was founded in 1940 by Carlos Errázuriz Mena, a member of the Chilean Christian Center Foundation (Spanish: Fundación Centro Cristiano),[3] as Instituto Regional Presidente Errázuriz (Spanish: President Errázuriz Regional Institute).[5] Its foundation is often attributed only to the Foundation.[6] The institute's first Principal was Father José Kuhl, a Pallottine priest from Limburg, Germany, who also wrote the institute's anthem.[3][6][7]

The Pallotines left Chile in 1968, and control of the institute was given back to the Christian Center Foundation.[6] The Bishop of Talca appointed Presbyter Octavio Godoy Reyes as Principal in 1968. He held the job until 1980, when he died.[3] Monsignor Luis Daza Osorio then became Principal, succeeded in 2006 by Oscar Patricio Reyes González, who holds the position as of 2010.[2][3]
