Members and Structures of the Institute

8. The Institute is made up of Brothers with temporary vows or perpetual vows. We become members by our religious profession. Brothers of the same family, we are united by charity and by obedience to the Constitutions.

The novices, who are beginning their life in the Institute, share in the spiritual benefits of our religious family.

Certain people can be affiliated to the Institute. In a similar way to the novices, they share in our spiritual benefits.

The Institute is made up of Provinces and Districts which, in turn, are made up of houses. Each Province or District is animated and governed by a Superior with his Council, under the authority of the Brother Superior General with his Council.
