1. It is hereby declared that in this Province there exist Juridic customs by reason of which the fast and abstinence of Rule do not oblige: a) on the Feast of St. Patrick,b) at supper, in favour of full-time evening Confessors,c) at supper, on Saturdays and on the vigils of important Feasts, in favour of priests who are to celebrate Holy Mass on the following morning at, or after, 10 o'clock. 2. The Provincial Curia and each house shall keep a register of its notable benefactors and of their donations or services, so that future Superiors may be informed of those who are deserving of our remembrance. 3. In accordance with the terms of No. 36 of our Regulations, the author to be followed in this Province in respect of the ceremonies of the Roman Rite shall be Adrian Fortescue, as revised and augmented by J. O'Connell. 4. The Venerable Chapter, desiring that the Feast of the Solemn Commemoration of the Passion be celebrated with due solemnity in our churches, directs that the annual retreat be so arranged as not to include this Feast. 5. The Venerable Chapter directs that the religious in Ireland shall attend the Novena to St. Patrick. When it is not expedient for the religious to attend the Public Novena, the Novena devotions shall be held in the Choir during evening prayer. 6. The Venerable Chapter decrees that in all our Retreats in Scotland, the three Hail Marys after Compline, or in the church during Benediction, be recited for the Conversion of Scotland. 7. Anxious that our Foreign Mission and those engaged on it should be remembered in our prayers, the Venerable Chapter decrees that, in all our Retreats, immediately before the 'Asperges' (or 'Vidi Aquam'), the following be added: 'For our Foreign Mission, Ave Maria, etc., Regina Missionum, ora pro nobis.' 8. The Venerable Chapter decrees, in accordance with Decree No. 6, Section 3, of the 36th General Chapter, that in any Retreat of the Province it shall be sufficient for the religious, going out or coming in, to obtain the usual 'Benedicite' from the Local Superior, except during time of Visitation, or in particular cases as the Father Provincial may decide.
