History
<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>
In the 1540s, bishop Francisco Marroquín split the ecclesiastical administration of the central valley of Guatemala between the Order of Preachers and the Franciscans, assigning Sumpango's curato to the former.[1] In 1638, the Dominicans separated their large doctrines in groups revolving around six convents:
| Convent | Doctrines or curatos | Convent | Doctrines or curatos |
|---|---|---|---|
| Guatemala |
|
Amatitlán | |
| Verapaz | |||
| Sonsonate |
|
||
| San Salvador |
|
Sacapulas |
Ecclesiastic historian Domingo Juarros wrote that in 1754, by virtue of a royal order of the borbon reforms of king Carlos III all curatos and doctrines of the regular clergy were moved on to the secular clergy.[3]
