The betharramite presence in Paraguay was certainly favored by the expulsion of religious from France. Some of them reached Paraguay. They offered their fully availability to start a new work; but it is mainly the result of the tireless will of the bishop of Asuncion, Monsignor Symphorian Bogarin, determined to establish a Catholic college, the first in his country. The choice fell on the fathers of Buones Aires who came from Bayonne (France). After many vicissitudes, the Colegio San José was opened on July 1st 1904 with 15 students. The first community was made up of 5 Fathers: Jean-Baptiste Tounédou, Charles Sampay, Jean Lhoste, Alfred Bacqué and André Lousteau.
