Carlos Miguel Buela

Father Carlos Miguel Buela, IVE, was ordained a priest in 1971 in Argentina. From the beginning of his priestly vocation, he dedicated himself in a particular way to youth ministry, with the conviction that the Church must work with the youth by way of her vocation. He founded the Institute of the Incarnate Word (IVE) in 1984 and the Institute Servants of the Lord and the Virgin of Matara (SSVM) in 1988, the feminine branch of the religious family of the “Incarnate Word.” Both institutes enjoy active and contemplative branches, all sharing in the same charism of the evangelization of the culture. Presently, both institutes are present as religious missionaries in five continents, comprised of about 1,300 members.
