In 1487, twenty-four years later, Innocent VIII granted indulgences to the congregations who lent their help to the reconstruction of the convent. It is feasible that the hermits tried to magnify the catastrophe in order to obtain financial assistance for completing the construction, by disguising the incomplete work as damage due to the fire! But the fire of 1463 was, indeed, a terrible catastrophe for Toulouse. Started in the Carmes convent because of the carelessness of a baker, it spread to the Maison de Ville district, causing extensive damage, above all to public buildings made of the wood and light inflammable materials. The chronicler, Simplicien Saint Martin recounts that the vaults of all the churches touched by the fire collapsed. While the roofs of some of the convent buildings were badly damaged, it would seem that the hardier stone buildings suffered less than the town houses. The insistence of the hermits in obtaining help from the Church and from the congregation, claiming that the damage was due to fire, was perhaps to gather the necessary funds to finance the definitive roof of the church. The latter was assigned to the masons Martin Pujol and Pierre d'Arroye in1495. The work was rapidly completed and the new consecration of the edifice was celebrated on 30th June 1504.
