Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1941,\u00a0Father Carlos Miguel Buela<\/a>\u00a0was ordained to the priesthood on October 7, 1971, Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary.<\/p>

During his years as a seminarian and young priest, Fr. Buela was influenced through his reading and contact with some of Argentina\u2019s great Catholic intellectuals, notably\u00a0Fr. Julio Meinvielle<\/a>\u00a0and Fr. Leonardo Castellani. After ten years as a diocesan priest working in youth ministry and parish work, he received the foundational grace in 1981, inspiring him to found a religious order of missionaries.<\/p>

Three years later, on March 25, 1984, Fr. Buela founded\u00a0the Institute of the Incarnate Word<\/a>, the priests, in the diocese of San Rafael, Mendoza. He founded the sisters, the Institute Servants of the Lord and the Virgin of Matar\u00e1, on March 19, 1988. The two institutes share twin constitutions and both have monasteries dedicated to contemplative life.<\/p>

Together with the laity of our Third Order, all the members of the Religious Family of the Incarnate Word share the same charism: the prolongation of the Incarnation of the Word of God in all the manifestations of the human person. Our specific aim is the evangelization of the culture. The two institutes of religious life have approximately 1600 members who are working in missions around the world.<\/p>

\u201cTo \u2018put out into the deep<\/strong>\u2019 is to take the demands of the gospel seriously and thoroughly: go, sell what you possess<\/strong> (Mt 19:21).
