Parroquia Santa Magdalena Sofía Barat began in 1966. Father Paura envisioned a place of worship and education. The religious order of the Sagrado Corazón organized it. They named it after their founder Santa Magdalena Sofía Barat. For three years parishioners gathered in a garage. The Garacino family generously provided this space.
In March 1967 a significant event occurred. The Bishop of Morón approved the creation. He approved both the parish and the school. That April they laid the cornerstone marking a new beginning.
