Colegio San Benito de Tibatí was established in Bogotá by the Order of Saint
Benedict (Benedictines). On 6 August 1960, Luis Concha Córdoba, Archbishop of
Bogotá, welcomed four monks - Lawrence Wagner, Frederic Mundt, Anselm Ruelle and
Adrian Mundt - from the abbey of the Assumption, Richardton, North Dakota (US).
They were invited by the archbishop to contribute to the improvement of Catholic
education in Bogotá. The four monks established Colegio San Carlos, where
classes started in February 1961. On 15 September 1963, the foundation of the
priorate of Tibatí was approved. The priorate was named for a Chibcha word
meaning "Joy of the Lord". In February 1969, the priorate was allowed to teach
novices. Under the guidance of Father Valeriano Oldermann, the monks of Tibatí
purchased the plots surrounding Colegio San Carlos and established Colegio San
Benito de Tibatí. Classes started on 12 February 1979.
The flag of the institute is horizontally divided yellow-dark blue. Yellow is a
symbol of valour and spiritual force, of equity and felicity, and of joy
and common life in harmony. Blue is a symbol of academic skills, magnanimity,
and truth.

the infinite and feed the permanent retroalimentation of hope and
empathy with the natural environment (green).

The St. Francis of Assisi Royal College was founded in 1662, as part of the
Popayán Seminary, founded by the Jesuit father Francisco Fuentes, the Dean
Francisco Vélez de Zúñiga and the Bishop of Popayán Francisco de la Serna y
Rimaga Salazar, and officially approved on 4 October 1643 by King of Spain
Philip IV. After the expelling of the Jesuits by Charles III in 1767, the
institute was managed for a few years by the Dominicans, the Jesuits being
reinstated in 1783 and expelled again in 1850 by General Tomás Cipriano de
Mosquera's government. In 1869, the Bishop Carlos Bermúdez decided to reorganize
the Seminary and obtained from Pope Pius IX its allocation to the Lazarists. On
2 February 1881, Fathers Gustavo Foing and Juan Bautista Rieux arrived in
Popayán; the Lazarists would manage the Seminary until 1942, when the Seminary
and the College were separated. The college was renamed Colegio de Nuestra
Señora del Pilar, eventually closed in 1953. In April 1963, the St. Francis of
Assisi Royal College was restored by the Association of the Ex-Alumni of the
college, that granted its management to the (Lazarist) Congregation of the
Mission.
The flag of Real Colegio San Francisco de Asís, as shown on the institute's
website, is horizontally divided white-red. White represents purity, dignity,
justice, zeal, truth, perseverance, gratitude, kindness, good faith, joy and
peace. Found in the highest points of the natural environment, on top of the
mountains and in the clouds, it symbolizes high aspirations and noble ideas. Red
is the color of sacrifice, blood and life, heroism, patriotism and courage.
The flag should be used in all ceremonies held in the institute, together with
the national, departmental (Cauca) and municipal (Popayán) flags, and placed on
the honor place, left.
