Although it was always the Society of Jesus' desire to return to the lands of such a rich mission, this was not achieved for more than a century and a half.
During the government of Don Carlos Antonio López, in 1843, a mission arrived from the Argentine-Chilean Jesuit Province with the desire to explore the possibilities of establishing a Jesuit House in Paraguay. This attempt failed due to disagreements with the government of Don Carlos A. López, even though the latter had expressed his desire for a Jesuit to be the tutor of his eldest son, Francisco Solano.
Later, in 1864, another mission arrived, but the dark clouds of the War of the Triple Alliance were already looming over the nation's horizon, and once again this mission was unable to establish a home in our country.
