Among the centres of study of a province, the principal ones are:

1. a centre of institutional studies, which is a community of students and professors of the Order, following the normal curriculum of philosophical and theological studies according to the tradition of the Order;
2. a centre of higher studies which is a community of brothers offering a curriculum in which academic programmes to the level of licentiate are taught; examples are: ecclesiastical and
   university faculties belonging to the Order itself or entrusted to its care, or those of which the brothers form a constitutive part;
3. a centre of special studies which is a community of brothers who apply themselves to research and publications, and other specialised projects, without being engaged in teaching;
4. a centre of ongoing formation, which is a community of brothers dealing with everything to do with ongoing formation, especially of those exercising ministry in the Church; the brothers involve themselves in research, and either prepare or  offer suitable programmes.
