Religious settlements run by Catholic priests and friars are known as missions. These missions were established to spread Christianity and convert indigenous peoples in regions such as the Americas, Africa, and Asia. They often included churches, schools, and living quarters for the clergy.
A mission
Indians
The goal of Spanish friars and missionaries in the New World was to spread Christianity to the native populations and convert them to Catholicism. They believed that by converting the indigenous people, they could save their souls and bring them into the fold of the Catholic Church. This religious conversion was often accompanied by efforts to assimilate the indigenous cultures into the Spanish way of life.

the friars
Diocesian priests usually live in a Rectory, a house provided by the parish of which they are the priest. Religious priests either live in a monastery, or a house owned by their Order unless they are serving in a diocese, in which case they live in a Rectory.
Friars and seminarians are not the same. Seminarians are studying to be priests. Friars are usually monks (a/k/a Christian brothers).
There are two Orders of Friars (Carmelite priests), the Order of Carmelites which was founded in 1209 and the Discaled Carmelites which where founded by St. Teresa of Avila and St. John of the Cross in the 16th century during the Catholic Reform. There are three branches to each, priests, nuns, and seculars (third Order).
