Dominic studied philosophy and theology at the University of Palencia. He was a priest and the canon of the cathedral of Osma, Spain. He worked for clerical reform and had a lifelong apostolate among heretics, especially Albigensians, and especially in France. He is said to have worked with Blessed Peter of Castelnau. Dominic founded the Order of Friars Preachers (Dominicans) in 1215, a group who live a simple, austere life, and an order of nuns dedicated to the care of young girls. He is reported to have been a miracle worker who brought four people back from the dead. Legend says that Dominic received a vision of a beggar who, like Dominic, would do great things for the Faith. Dominic met the beggar the next day. He embraced him and said, "You are my companion and must walk with me. If we hold together, no earthly power can withstand us." The beggar turned out to be Saint Francis of Assisi.
