Abstract
In November 1957, a significant milestone in the history of Opus Dei in the United States –which he had started in 1949–, marking the establishment of two distinct circumscriptions: the Chicago region and the Washington region. This article focuses on the formative years of the Washington region, spanning from 1957 to 1961, specifically highlighting the experiences of the male members of Opus Dei. It provides a chronological account, outlines the geographical and demographic aspects, and delves into certain institutional aspects, such as the organization’s relationship with the American hierarchy and its presence in Washington D.C., Boston and Cambridge, and New York.
