Abstract: In 1913 comes to town a young priest, Baltasar Pardal Vidal, specifically to one of the less fortunate to level economic, cultural [...] and abundant in terms of family dislocation, precariousness [...] is the neighborhood of Atocha. From the Catechism, founded a library to teach reading and writing to provide culture. Then it will be around him the idea of making something bigger to also care for adults who have access to instruction even more difficult than girls. Not with few downsides, is planning what will then be the big work of Atocha, charity dedicated to children, girls and women with few resources. In 1923 it opens this center that is extended with the years up to managing to attend and to give formation to children in the school and to women with the creation of a popular feminine university. It will happen a few difficult years during the republic II for his catholic character but then it will re-open again to give continuity to the project until today.
