Monasteries were (and are) homes to nuns and/or monks who spend most of their lives within the confines of the monastery working and praying. They are different from priests, sisters and brothers who live in rectories, friaries or convents but who work in the outside world.
Men and women who have dedicated themselves to God and His worship through study, prayer, and manual work.
