When Fr.
Felix first requested permission to found the Congregation mentioned, he was denied and forbidden to deal with the project for ten years.
This caused him great pain, but he stood firm with Christ knowing that the work would pay off.
 Finally through the intercession of Bishop Ramón Ibarra and González, first the Archbishop of Puebla then the Vatican granted Fr.
Felix Rougier his foundation on December 25, 1914 in the Chapel of the Roses at Tepeyac, Mexico City.
 This was the origin of the Congregation of the Missionaries the Holy Spirit.
This was done despite full religious persecution by the government.

As time went on, Fr.
Felix gave birth to three new Institutes of Religious Life: The Daughters of the Holy Spirit (1924) in order to work for the education of young people and to promote all vocations within the Church, the Guadalupan Missionaries of the Holy Spirit (1930) in response to the needs of indigenous people and the needy, and the Oblates of Jesus the Priest (1937) in order to assist in the formation of future priests.

Fr.
Felix Rougier of Jesus was already known in his time as a saint because he loved his priesthood, his mission, and he never lost an opportunity to work for a better world.
 He was ahead of his time by giving strong support to the laity as well as promoting various media.
He founded the Revista la Cruz which continues to be edited.
Besides being a great Egyptologist, he dedicated himself to the creation and promotion of schools and hospitals.
