Home›Religious Order›All Religious OrderBrowse ByAll Religious OrderCommunities of men or women bound by shared vows and a rule of life under a founder's charism, chiefly the Catholic orders such as the Benedictines, Franciscans, Dominicans, Jesuits and Trappists, alongside the Ramakrishna Order and the Ramanandi and Dashanami Sampradayas of Hindu monasticism. 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.All Religious OrderComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)Version History (1)All Religious OrderFilter Results26 entriesAuthority ScopeAllOne congregation, house or temple (1)One order, school or lineage, wherever it is found (8)Located In CenterAllMount Longhu (1)Membership EligibilityAllMen only (14)Monastics (2)Women only (6)Originated InAllFrance (3)India (1)Ireland (2)Italy (3)Taiwan (1)Practice StatusAllLiving tradition, practised today (26)Founded ByAllMother Teresa (1)Founded EraAll142 (1)529 (1)700 (1)1084 (1)1098 (1)1120 (1)1206 (1)1209 (1)1212 (1)1216 (1)1256 (1)1300 (1)1528 (1)1535 (1)1540 (1)1610 (1)1633 (1)1664 (1)1680 (1)1732 (1)1831 (1)1859 (1)1897 (1)1940 (1)1950 (1)1967 (1)Structure CategoryAllCommunity (22)Lineage (1)Kind of organizationAllCatholic Congregations of Women in Charity and Education (4)Catholic Missionary and Teaching Congregations of Men (4)Contemplative Monastic Orders of the West (4)Daoist and Buddhist Orders of China and Taiwan (2)Hindu Monastic Orders and Sampradayas (3)Mendicant Orders (3)ActivityAllCharitable and Humanitarian Work (5)Education (2)Worship and Religious Practice (19)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 26Augustinians (Order of Saint Augustine)Religious OrderBenedictines (Order of Saint Benedict)Religious OrderCapuchins (Order of Friars Minor Capuchin)Religious OrderCarmelites (Order of Our Lady of Mount Carmel)Religious OrderCarthusians (Order of Carthusians)Religious OrderCelestial MastersReligious OrderChristian Brothers (Congregation of Christian Brothers)Religious OrderCistercians (Order of Citeaux)Religious OrderDashanami SampradayaReligious OrderDaughters of Charity of Saint Vincent de PaulReligious OrderDominicans (Order of Preachers)Religious OrderFo Guang ShanReligious OrderFranciscans (Order of Friars Minor)Religious OrderJesuits (Society of Jesus)Religious OrderMissionaries of CharityReligious OrderNorbertines (Premonstratensians)Religious OrderPoor Clares (Order of Saint Clare)Religious OrderRamakrishna Order (Ramakrishna Math and Mission)Religious OrderRamanandi SampradayaReligious OrderRedemptorists (Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer)Religious OrderSalesians (Salesians of Don Bosco)Religious OrderSisters of MercyReligious OrderThe Taize CommunityReligious OrderTrappists (Cistercians of the Strict Observance)Religious OrderUrsulines (Company of Saint Ursula)Religious OrderVisitandines (Order of the Visitation of Holy Mary)Religious OrderComments (0)No comments yet.
