1860: Commitment to the Congregation

On June 1 1, 1860, we set our signatures to the rules of the Society of St. Francis de Sales which were to be submitted to Archbishop Fransoni. We solemnly promised that. should the present trou-blesome times prevent us from making our vows, each of us would strive to promote this Society’s growth and, as far as possible, always keep its rules, even if all its members should be dispersed or if only two, or even one. should remain. (BM VI, 360)
