It is extremely desirable that wherever possible
Provinces and Regions establish and develop centres of spirituality, retreats and study, and to make these available,
both to the brethren and to others
who are drawn to the spirituality of our Order,
for retreats and spiritual exercises.
Moreover, regional and international co-operation among existing
spirituality centres and houses of study shall be promoted.
