Clerical Congregations are religious communities within the Catholic Church that consist primarily of priests and are dedicated to specific missions or ministries. These congregations often focus on education, social work, or pastoral care, and they operate under the guidance of their own constitutions and rules. Members of Clerical Congregations typically take vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience, similar to other religious orders. They may also engage in various forms of community service and outreach, contributing to the spiritual and social needs of the communities they serve. Examples include the Society of Jesus and the Congregation of the Mission.
