The persons so executing and acknowledging such certificate shall be the first trustees of the corporation. The successor in office for the time being of the bishop, or the administrator in case of a vacancy in the office of bishop, the secretary, and the chancellor, respectively, shall, by virtue of their offices, be the trustees of such corporation in place of their predecessors. Such two priests shall hold office for one year, and until their successors are appointed, but shall be trustees only while in good standing according to the canons of the Ruthenian Greek Catholic Church, and approved by the bishop, or in his absence, by his vicar-general, or by the administrator.
The office of either priest shall become vacant by his removal out of the diocese, or in the discretion and on the direction of the bishop or administrator.
