In religious orders, a provincial is the head of a region, which may consist of anything from part of a country to one or more countries. It would be similar to a diocese, but not exactly the same. They are only responsible for members of their own order, and not the general public. The Provincial would not have to be a bishop. They would be just one of the ordinary priests. They may serve a term as provincial for a few years, and then the role passes to someone else. While they are the provincial, they would have more responsibilities dealing with issues to do with their order within their region. They would also represent their region at wider meetings of their order where provincials would come together.
A provincial congress is a legislative body in a province or state that represents the interests of its residents. It typically has the authority to make laws, oversee the executive branch, and manage budgetary matters. Provincial congresses often have the power to address local issues and make decisions on behalf of their constituents.
