The term 'Monastery Residents' refers to two distinct groups of people who live in a monastery. Oblates (7 letters) are lay people who have taken vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience, but do not necessarily take part in the liturgical life of the monastery. MONKS (5 letters) are members of a religious order who have taken vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience, and who live a communal life of prayer and work within the monastery.
