- When, outside its own territory, a province has in another nation or region at least fifteen vocals and one convent in the strict sense of the term, a provincial chapter may unite them into a regional vicariate so that the apostolic activity and regular life of the brothers there can be better coordinated.
- it is the task of the regional vicariate:
- to have its own statute, approved by a provincial chapter;
- to hold its own chapters as laid down in the vicariate statute;
- to admit candidates to the novitiate and to first profession.
- to admit to solemn profession and sacred orders unless there is a different provision in the provincial statute.
