Even though the 1903 foundation was suppressed during the Mexican Revolution in 1932, the people of Leonwanted the Sisters to return to their city since they had very fond memories and heartfelt gratitude for their charitable service. The instrument used by Divine Providence was Father Constancio Armendáriz, C.M.F., who was living in Leonat that time. This priest, in agreement with one of the principal ladies of the city, requested the foundation. They were not discouraged by the negative reply, but gathered together several people, including Rafael González, a generous benefactor, and wrote a letter to Mother Acacia Lasa, Provincial Superior of the United States, requesting the foundation, followed by all of their signatures. When Mother General learned of this, she gave her consent, and the foundation took place on May 25, 1959.  There were seven founding Sisters with Mother Nieves Biurrun as Superior. The Sisters are dedicated to caring for the sick in their own homes.
