| Bartolomé de las Casas |
One of
the first improvements was to mandate the
repair of the bell-tower. Another improvement of this year was the addition of a mosaic floor
in the church. The Sisters already had the tiles, but until this time they did
not have the money for labor to install them. [1] After
the return of the property by the government, the school reopened under the
title Colegio Santa Domingo and registration increased to the number of sixty
boys and girls and five boarders and an extra classroom was constructed.
The Sisters received an anonymous threatening letter if the school remained open, but they persevered nevertheless, and enrollment
continued to increase. General Manuel Ávila Camacho became
president and a lasting peace was finally achieved. The Archbishop Luis María Martínez y Rodríguez normalized relations between the Church and government. The Sisters reopened Colegio San Rafael in Mexico City in 1943 and the school in San Miguel was accredited and rededicated as Colegio Bartolomé de las Casas in 1946.
