Chapter XIV

The officials of the Chapter

57. In every Chapter there shall be a Prior, Subprior, Recruit Master, and other Officers and Councilors.

58. The Council of the Chapter may not exceed twelve in number. The Prior, Subprior and Recruit Master are, by reason of their office, members of this Council.

59. On the erection of a Chapter all the Officials are appointed by the Knight Vice-Commander; and also on the dissolution of the Council, which happens automatically as often as the whole Council or even the majority of the Councilors from any cause whatever retire from office.

60. The Officers and Councilors hold office for three years; but each year a third part of the Council shall be renewed by the Prior and the remaining Councilors. In the year, however, in which the Officers are to be renewed, the Council must first be completed, and then the Prior with the whole Council shall select the Prior and other Officials. In case of disagreement between the Prior and Council, recourse must be had to the Knight Vice-Commander.

Deus Vult!
