Customs differ widely between religious orders ( such as Franciscans, Dominicans, IHM sisters, etc) Obviously they engage in many in-group activities, prayers and singing in Choirs, etc. There is something of a difference between leading the singing and giving someone a blessing. They definitely cannot perform a mass, or even distribute communion in the normal settings. Blessing is a broad word- they may have something akin to interpersonal salutations , it is known hand signals are used to communicate needs when the sisters are observing the various forms of silences- such as the Magnum Silentium- or Great Silence. This is a practical need to convey essential messages- someone is at the door, for example. Hand signs are properly used.
