(w) It is allowable to require the auxiliary to defray the cost
of the Tessera and of a certificate of membership. But
otherwise no subscription shall be payable in respect of
auxiliary membership.
(x) A roll of its auxiliary members, containing names and
addresses, and subdivided as to adjutorians and ordinary
auxiliaries, shall be kept by each praesidium and shall be
submitted periodically to the Curia or to its authorised
visitors. This roll shall be examined carefully with a view to
seeing that it is being properly kept, that new members are
being zealously sought for, and that existing members are
being visited occasionally to secure that having put their
hand to the plough, they may not turn back. (cf. Lk 9:62)
(y) Membership of the auxiliary degree is effected by the
entry of name upon the auxiliary roll of any praesidium. This
roll shall be in the care of the Vice-President.
(z) Names of candidates for the auxiliary degree shall be
placed on a provisional list until three months’ probation has
been served. Then the praesidium must satisfy itself that the
obligations of member ship have been faithfully discharged
before placing the candidate’s name on the auxiliary roll.

outward and temporal and perishable goods, what will that
hundredfold be which he will give to the man who sacrifices for him
even his inward and spiritual goods?” (St. Louis-Marie de Montfort)
