- At the end of the first three years in simple vows, brothers may, at their own request or the superior’s suggestion, renew simple profession, but not beyond another three years; in which case vows must be renewed each year. The provincial chapter can decide, however, that simple profession will ordinarily be extended after the first three-year period.
- Those in perpetual or solemn vows who transfer to the Order from another religious institute with the permission of the Master of the Order and their own superior general, and with the consent of their council, cannot make solemn profession until three years have elapsed and only if a novitiate has been completed. (CCL, n. 684, §§1-2).
