Canons Regular are members of a religious community that follows the Rule of Saint Augustine. They live in community, engage in prayer, and perform various ministries, such as teaching and pastoral work. Unlike monks, who typically live in solitude, Canons Regular balance communal life with active service to the Church. These communities often serve in parishes and are involved in charitable activities. The Canons Regular aim to embody a life of prayer and service, fostering spiritual growth both within their community and in the wider society. Their lifestyle emphasizes the importance of community and shared mission in the Christian faith.
