The Community was founded in the Archdiocese of Lima-Peru by Luis Fernando Figari on March 25th, feast of the Annunciation-
Incarnation. It was approved by the then Archbishop of Lima and Primate of Peru, Most Reverend Augusto Vargas Alzamora, and
later confirmed by Cardinal Juan Luis Cipriani, the current Archbishop of Lima and Primate of Peru.
Through the blessings of the Lord, our communities are spreading throughout the world. We are presently serving in several dioceses
of South America (Peru, Chile, Colombia and Ecuador); United States (Colorado, Texas and Connecticut), Europe (Italy and England) and in the Archdiocese of Sydney, Australia.
Our history actually dates back to 1975, when Luis Fernando Figari initially founded the Association of Immaculate Mary, aimed at a group of young women that wanted to live their faith coherently, by welcoming the call of God to holiness and by committing themselves to the apostolate.
Some of the young women of the Association of Immaculate Mary felt a calling from God to consecrate their lives to Him through a full apostolic availability. Under the counsel of Luis Fernando they began a life in common, living the Sodalit Spirituality. Some years later, after a process of prayer and discernment, the Marian Community of Reconciliation was born.
