Clerics Regular are members of religious orders within the Catholic Church who live in community and follow a rule of life. They are distinct from secular clergy, as they combine the duties of priests with a commitment to communal living and a specific religious rule, often focusing on prayer, education, and pastoral work. These clerics typically engage in various ministries, including preaching, teaching, and providing spiritual guidance. They often wear distinctive habits and are dedicated to serving the Church and its members, embodying the principles of their founding orders, such as the Augustinians or Jesuits.
