Eugene, as director, ensured the communication and maintenance of the spirit he wished to convey to the members of the Youth Congregation. There was a clearly defined infrastructure of people to help him in his task, and whose opinions and decisions were to be respected: a council and various levels of office-bearers to ensure the smooth running of the Congregation and its formation of the members.<\/p>\n
\nArt. 1. In the Congregation there are several offices or functions\u2026<\/strong><\/h5>\n<\/blockquote>\n
In the section of the regulations dealing with office bearers, Eugene spelt out the tasks of a total of 33 elected officials, some of whom he met with regularly. The Prefect was the chief of the Congregation, and he was assisted in the decision-making process by a Vice Prefect and four assessors. The other office bearers were to ensure the smooth running of the activities of the Congregation (e.g. sacristans, librarian etc).<\/p>\n
\nArt 20. The members of the Congregation who are chosen to have responsibilities and positions have to fully understand the importance of the functions to which they are called. They must not lose sight that they are only placed on a lamp stand in order to shine. They should fully grasp this thought: that by their tireless attention, their fervour, their good examples of all kind, they must be the light that illuminates their fellow members in the practice of all virtue.<\/strong><\/h5>\n
They must be the light to illuminate anyone who would have the misfortune (God forbid) to distance himself from the true path, and to help him to return to it straight away. In the unlikely event of a lessening of fervour among the members, it would be with justice that God and men would call on them to account for this disorder.<\/strong><\/h5>\n<\/blockquote>\n
