History
The college was founded in 1948 as the result of many year's effort by the Irish immigrant community in Argentina. The Passionist order had arrived in the mid-nineteenth century and one of their priests, Father Fahy , who had established a boys’ school in 1860, suggested then that the Christian Brothers should take it over. However, this request was refused by the order because they were concentrating their efforts in United States and Australia, where the irish migration was much greater. In 1946, Father Dominic Moore, provincial of the Passionist Order, visited the Superior of the Christian Brothers in Dublin, and once again defended the case for a new foundation in Argentina. His request was accepted, and in November 1947, Brothers Joseph Ignatius Doorley -founder of various schools in USA- and Cornelius O’Reilly arrived to Buenos Aires. Father Moore found a suitable building in Belgrano 1548 and the achool was named after Cardinal Newman. The school was opended on 29 March 1948. The national programme would be followed during the morning, devoting the afternoons to English. Brother Alphonsus L. Pakenham was the first rector, who presided over a community of 7 brothers, 8 lay teachers, and 148 students, 27 of which were boarders. In 1949 the roll increased to 200 boys and there "would have been more had there been more vacancies".[2]
