  1. When a province has outside its own territory in some nation or region at least fifteen vocals and one convent properly so called, a provincial chapter can unite them into a provincial regional vicariate, so that the apostolic activity and regular life of the brothers there can be better coordinated.
  2. The provincial vicariate is governed by statutes established by the provincial chapter, and approved by the Master of the Order. It is the task of the regional vicariate:
    1. to have its own statute, approved by a provincial chap­ter;
    2. to hold its own chapters as laid down in the vicariate statute;
    3. to admit candidates to the novitiate and to first profes­sion;
    4. to admit to solemn profession and sacred orders unless there is a different provision in the provincial statute.
