Correa León (1918-1980), 2nd Bishop of Cúcuta (22 July 1959 - 27 July 1970).

Colegio Palermo de San José was established on 17 January 1943 by Antonio 
Henao (d. 1986), the parish priest of El Pobladao (Medellin) and Mother María 
Olivia (1918-2004), an Austrian-born nun from the Congregation of the Franciscan 
Missionary Sisters of Mary Help of Christians, established in Ecuador by the 
Swiss-born nun St. Maria Bernarda Bütler (1848-1924; canonized on 12 October 
2008 by Pope Benedict XVI). Blessed on 19 March 1943, St. Joseph's Day, the 
institute was relocated in 1945 in the Palermo estate, purchased one year 
before.
The flag of the institute is presented as horizontally divided yellow-blue. The 
image shows the institute's emblem in the middle of the flag, while the written 
description mentions only the two stripes. There is no photographical evidence 
that the flags in actual use are charged with the emblem.
Yellow is a symbol of the love for the Eucharist, of struggle for surpassing, 
and of universal fraternity. Blue is a symbol of love for Mary Help of 
Christians.
The emblem of the institute was designed by Sister Gregoria Dücks. It is made of 
a yellow disk with a blue border inscribed with "COLEGIO PALERMO DE SAN JOSE" 
(top) and "MEDELLIN" (bottom). Inside the disk is a white parchment, a symbol of 
truth and transparency. The yellow stars represent high ideals and goals. The 
lamp is a symbol of force and tenacity, of the light of Christ, of enthusiasm, 
joy, and Franciscan kindness. The monogram refers to the name of the institute. 
The books are a symbol of science.

Its flag design 
is very simple: it is the color of the Municipality of 
Pamplona after which it gets its name, with the University's coat of arms (https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universidad_de_Pamplona#/media/File:Escudo_Universidad_de_Pamplona.svg) 
in the middle.
