Founded on 27 December 1976, the Congregation now includes ten male monasteries spread throughout four of the countries of South America's Southern Cone region. Additionally, eight female monasteries are members of the Congregation. The current Abbot President of the Congregation resides at Monasterio Benedictino Santa María in Los Toldos, Argentina.
