Why is Alberto Hurtado so important in Chile?

It is very important because it is like a role model in the sense of the good things he did, such as creating the "Hogar de Cristo" and always defends the workers. His advocacy for the poor and workers led to the most affluent and conservative society and the church were nicknamed the "red priest" or "communist priest." Despite not having been in his youth closely related with religion, years after studying law at university, he received the call of God which help and benefit many people, especially workers to their pay and better treatment. It is also important because I think a number of foundations in his name. It is an example at the Colegio San Ignacio (since the study there).
