Canons Regular are members of a religious community who live according to a rule, typically the Rule of Saint Augustine. They combine the communal life of monks with the pastoral duties of priests, often serving in parishes or engaging in educational activities. These communities emphasize a balance between prayer, community life, and service to others. Canons Regular often wear a distinctive habit and follow a structured daily schedule that includes liturgical prayers, study, and communal meals, fostering both spiritual growth and community bonds.
