Enclosed religious orders

Enclosed religious orders are groups of people who devote their lives to living in a religious community. They live together in a kind of house, like a big family, but instead of a mom and dad, they have a religious leader who guides them and helps them live a life full of prayer, service, and charity. They also follow a set of rules that help them stay devoted to their religious life and to one another. They don't go out much, but if they do, they usually wear special clothing to show that they belong to the religious order.
