History

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.[3] In 1638, the Dominicans separated their large doctrines in groups revolving around six convents:
