Excerpts from the "CONSTITUTIONS AND REGULATIONS OF THE SALESIANS OF DON BOSCO"

“As each one has received a gift, employ it for one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace; …whoever renders service, as one who renders it by the strength which God supplies, in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ.” (1Peter 4:10-11)

175. The local community is made up of confreres who reside in a lawfully erected house, and in it live a common life in unity of spirit under the authority of the superior, sharing responsibility as they carry out their apostolic mission.

176. The superior of each local community is called the rector. He is first in order of responsibility for its religious life, its apostolic activities and the administration of its goods. With the collaboration of his council he animates and governs the community according to the Constitutions and general Regulations.

178. In every local community there shall be a council composed of confreres in perpetual vows and no longer in initial formation, in number proportional to the number of confreres and to the requirements of their activities. The council is convoked and presided over by the rector, and has the task of collaborating with him in animating and governing the community.
