- In every vicariate there shall be a council whose consent or advice the regional prior vicar provincial must seek on important transactions according to the norm of vicariate statutes. The acts of this council after being collected are to be sent to the prior provincial.
- The number of these councillors and the manner of their election or appointment shall be determined by the vicariate statute.
- When Since in accordance with the prescriptions of the Book of Constitutions and Ordinations or the statute of the province or vicariate, the prior provincial, with his provincial council, has to deal with matters which concern the vicariate, he must first also consult the vicariate council before consulting the provincial council. When however it is a question of confirming, appointing, or removing the regional prior vicar provincial, he consults only the provincial council (see n. 373, 1).
