The Origin of The Name of The Neighborhood
The name, Padre Miguel, honors monsignor Miguel de Santa Maria Mochon (1879–1947), considered an outstanding personality of the dismembered region of Realengo in the middle of the 20th century. From the Dílar village in Granada, Spain, priest Miguel came to Realengo when he was only 19 years old. The thin physicist did not expect that he would have an intense life in favor of the poor, sowing schools, creches and libraries. Priest Miguel died in 1947 and is buried in the Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Conceição church. On 16 April of the same year the Padre Miguel neighborhood was created. A statue of Padre Miguel is located in the neighborhood's main square to remember him.

Famous quotes containing the words origin, the and/or neighborhood:
“The real, then, is that which, sooner or later, information and reasoning would finally result in, and which is therefore independent of the vagaries of me and you. Thus, the very origin of the conception of reality shows that this conception essentially involves the notion of a COMMUNITY, without definite limits, and capable of a definite increase of knowledge.”
—Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)
“Undoubtedly equality of goods is just; but, being unable to cause might to obey justice, men has made it just to obey might. Unable to strengthen justice, they have justified might—so that the just and the strong should unite, and there should be peace, which is the sovereign good.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
“The world has narrowed to a neighborhood before it has broadened to brotherhood.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
