7/3/9/4 Decrees of VIII Provincial Chapter. 1) The Religious, who are appointed to visit in the Parish or districts assigned to our houses, are reminded that they should visit the poor, the negligent, and the sick, and not to show a preference for the letter classes, lest this important duty should degenerate into useless visits of pleasure or compliment. Religious are forbidden to take any refreshment whilst on those visits or on ordinary walks without the permission of the Superior. 11) A Rector or Superior receiving an application to supply for Priests can send on their own authority a Religious to discharge this duty for once; but if a supply be required after than once in the same place it must not be done without the knowledge of the Provincial.
