Belongs here: a community organized around vows, a rule and ranked membership that a person is formally professed into. Does not belong here: a fraternity organized by ordination lineage rather than vowed rule, such as the Theravada nikayas grouped under monastic fraternity, and a single independent congregation with no wider order behind it.Version History (1)Comments (0)Reader Challenges (0 open reader challenges)BrowseCompareSelect all 25Augustinians (Order of Saint Augustine)Religious Order3 linksBenedictines (Order of Saint Benedict)Religious Order10 linksCapuchins (Order of Friars Minor Capuchin)Religious Order4 linksCarmelites (Order of Our Lady of Mount Carmel)Religious Order4 linksCarthusians (Order of Carthusians)Religious Order3 linksCistercians (Order of Citeaux)Religious Order6 linksDashanami SampradayaReligious Order3 linksDaughters of Charity of Saint Vincent de PaulReligious Order3 linksDominicans (Order of Preachers)Religious Order4 linksFranciscans (Order of Friars Minor)Religious Order7 linksJesuits (Society of Jesus)Religious Order7 linksMissionaries of CharityReligious Order4 linksNorbertines (Premonstratensians)Religious Order3 linksPoor Clares (Order of Saint Clare)Religious Order4 linksRamakrishna Order (Ramakrishna Math and Mission)Religious Order3 linksRamanandi SampradayaReligious Order2 linksRedemptorists (Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer)Religious Order3 linksSalesians (Salesians of Don Bosco)Religious Order3 linksSisters of MercyReligious Order4 linksThe Taize CommunityReligious Order5 linksTrappists (Cistercians of the Strict Observance)Religious Order4 linksUrsulines (Company of Saint Ursula)Religious Order3 linksVisitandines (Order of the Visitation of Holy Mary)Religious Order3 linksCelestial MastersReligious Order11 linksChristian Brothers (Congregation of Christian Brothers)Religious OrderCite this page as it read on August 31, 2026: /cite/84Version History (1)This entry has 1 recorded version.DescriptionVersion 1 · August 31, 2026 · Cite This VersionComments (0)No comments yet.
