Pablo Sevilla assures that it founded by a slave from Trinidad, Nicolás Sevilla Solano, who was a captain from the Liberation Army.

It is recorded in the book of the society which was formalized on May 22nd, 1913 at Tránsito Street and Independencia Street; the President was Brígido Tardío and the Secretary was Antonio Pérez. If we analyze the directors it is clear that in general they are not the main religious personalities that really lead and who are remembered.

During early 20th century in the town of Palmira four recreation societies were founded in this town located near the city Cienfuegos, but their real purpose was to practice their religion: the Rule of Ocha. Santa Barbara, San Roque of Portugal, El Cristo and Santa Teresa, the last one disappeared early due to economic reasons. When reading the different regulations of these societies conserved in the Ministry of Justice, it is observed how in a general way all of them demanded the usual order, decency, composure, inappropriate words and even "cleanliness" which require the "most elemental culture and in a way that do not smear the reputation of the Society".
