When a Chapel of the Rose exists, the Superintendent of the Chapel is responsible for event scheduling, furnishings and decorations, management (but not funding) of various shrines, and fundraising to support maintenance and the Chapel's pro-rated share of Headquarters operating expenses.
Said funding of the pro-rated expenses is an obligation of the Noble company, and failure to provide such support may result in the closing or reduction of size of the Chapel. Should the Noble Company fail in its financial obligations to the Society, the [[Assistant Treasurer]] may assess the Noble Company's various funds, and the [[Board]] may increase the Noble Company's dues and entry fee, or reduce the size of the Chapel. One would hope that the [[Rose Council]] would work hard to avoid such embarrassment, perhaps by deliberately reducing the size of the Chapel to match their funding ability.
At times when there is no Headquarters in which a Chapel of the Rose might be established. The Superintendent of the Chapel becomes a minor office (outside his service on the Rose Council. It does not become inactive, however, as that officer is still responsible for determining the cost of furnishing the ''next'' Chapel, and in amassing the funds (and artifacts) needed to complete it.
