Once upon a time
…there was a priest named Dominic de Guzman, who roamed the area to convert its inhabitants who were followers of Catharism. Established in Fanjeaux to better influence these ‘heretic’ lands, he managed through his many preachings and disputations, to convert nine Cathar women. He didn’t know where to set up these nuns. It was then that, from the heights of Fanjeaux, he saw three fireballs landing on what was at that time a simple hamlet with a chapel. Nonetheless, it was here that the first community founded by Dominic was established, a kind of foreshadowing of the future order of the Dominicans that he founded in 1216.
