A friar is a religious who is a member of one of the four mendicant or "begging" orders which includes the Dominicans, Franciscans Carmelites and Augustinians. Unlike a monk, a friar is not cloistered and can be sent into public ministry in varying capacities, from missionary work to be a local confessor.
