GUIDE FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A NEW FRATERNITY OF FRANCISCAN YOUTH (YOUFRA) |
In the event that a YouFra National Fraternity is in difficulty, that is, it has fewer than five established local fraternities, the OFS National Council or, in its absence, the Presidency of the International Council, will help the fraternity by appointing a provisional YouFra National Council which will be responsible for leading and guiding the local fraternities existing within the nation.
If the situation improves and conditions become favorable for a re-establishment of the National Fraternity, the Provisional Council will ask the OFS National Council or, in its absence, the Presidency of the International Council, for permission to celebrate a national elective chapter and thus re-establish the ordinary life of the national fraternity.
