Members of Catholic religious orders typically take vows of poverty, chastity and obedience.

Members of women's orders are nuns. A men's religious order may be made up of only priests, only brothers, or a mix of priests and brothers.

Some religious orders are contemplative only -- that is, they spend their lives in prayer and are cloistered, or separated from the outside world.

More likely these days, though, religious orders feature a combination of prayer life, community life, and outside apostolic ministry. They do all sorts of work -- education, hospital work, missionary work, helping the poor and homeless, ministering to the elderly, and so on.

Members of religious orders typically live in the community for a few years under temporary vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience -- they take these vows for a year at a time at first. Then, when they're ready and if they wish to do so, they make solemn vows -- they take the same vows of poverty, chastity and obedience, but this time it's for life.

There are many forms and ministries in the Catholic Church's religious orders
The Piarists are an active order rather than a cloistered contemplative group since they are engaged in parish and mission work
Check out the vocation directories in your diocese.
