Course XLVI - Teaching 12: Interviews and Retreats

In Houses of Community, although just the Squires and Damsels should compulsorily make a Retreat of one day every month, all Sons, of any group, even Knights and Ladies, must make a spiritual Retreat every month in common.
Their Retreats will follow the usual schedule, besides the period devoted to Teaching and Interview. The Sons of Temporary and Solemn Vows will have a monthly Interview with the Superior of the Community, and a weekly Interview with the Director of the Seminary.
All Sons can request a particular Interview with the Knight 8 or with the Delegate of the Table or with his Spiritual Director.
If during annual Retreats the Community attends to the same Retreat, every group will attend to it during the corresponding days, in accordance with the Regulation.
In festivals of February 28th Moon, Full Moon, Initiated Knight and the End of the Course, the Ordained Sons of Community will celebrate the same Ceremony in the presence of the entire Community, but without feast or tea.
In Houses of Community, the Sons will have three or four annual dates, ordered by the Superior, which will be holidays. For instance: commemoration of the spiritual titular or patron of the House, the principal fatherland date, the onomastic date of the Superior and Christmas Eve.
In Houses of Seminary or in those where the Sons cannot go out of the Radius of Stability, the Superior will plan a long stroll and a picnic, or a funny entertainment, two or three times a year.
When the Sons pray in common, they will recite Hymns, standing; prayers, leaning on their heels; and psalms, sitting; they will rise just as long as they recite the first verse.
In annual Retreats, during days established by Regulation, the Sons can attend, but if the Superior deemed proper and the subjects were convenient, the Sons of temporary and solemn Vows can attend to Lectures and Teachings of Sons of perpetual Vows just as an educational resource.
