Foundation

In 1720 Pope Clement XI confirmed the creation of an oratorium dictated to Saint Phillip Neri in the city of Guadalajara, Jalisco, which at the time was part of New Spain and capital of the Nueva Galicia Kingdom. Informed of the Pope's decision, King Philip V of Spain announced on 13 August 1721 that construction of the new oratorium would begin.

In the early 19th century, the institution existed as the Colegio San Felipe Neri. It was used as a hospital and an orphanage.[1]

On September 15, 1914, the Preparatory School of Jalisco was formally established. Since 1925, it has been a part of the University of Guadalajara.[2]
