The congregation was founded in 1883 and had its beginnings in the Beaterio de Mantelatas de San Agustin in Barcelona, Spain. It was founded by two blood sisters, Mother Rita and Mother Consuelo Barcelo y Pages, OSA from Sarria, Barcelona.
As an institute primarily dedicated to education, the congregation was aggregated to the Order of Saint Augustine (OSA) on May 31, 1902. Thereby it became an apostolic branch of the Augustinian order.
In 1975, the Sacred Congregation for Religious and for Secular Institutes granted Pontifical Recognition to the congregation. As an Institute of Pontifical Right, the congregation is religious apostolic in nature.
