On February 27, 2010, Senator Marco Cortes presented Colegio San Viator in Bogotá, Colombia with a special commendation on the occasion of its 47th anniversary.  Fr. Pedro Herrera, a 1968 graduate of the colegio and its current principal, accepted the award on behalf of the students, parents, staff, faculty, and administration of the school.

At the same ceremony, Fr. Albeyro Vanegas was awarded a commendation for his commitment and work in developing quality education in Colombia.  Fr. Vanegas is the academic director of the colegio which was founded by the Clerics of St. Viator of the Province of Chicago in 1963.

Currently, eight Colombian Viatorian brothers and priests serve on the faculty and administration of the colegio which has an enrollment of 1050 students in its primary and secondary schools.  It is one of three major ministries of the Viatorian Foundation of Colombia.
