Listed
below are some
Religious
Communities that have
in the Diocese of Cleveland
and elsewhere.
Religious priests receive duty assignments from their superiors
in their respective religious orders. Some religious priests
specialize in teaching, whereas others serve as missionaries in
foreign countries, where they may live under difficult and primitive
conditions.
Other religious
priests live a communal life in monasteries,
where they devote their lives to prayer, study, and assigned work.
Both religious and diocesan priests hold teaching and
administrative posts in Catholic seminaries, colleges and
universities, and high schools. Priests attached to religious orders
staff many of the Church’s institutions of higher education and many
high schools, whereas diocesan priests usually are concerned with
the parochial schools attached to parish churches and with diocesan
high schools.
Members of religious orders do much of the missionary work
conducted by the Catholic Church in this country and abroad.
